- Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things. I am tempted to think there are no little things.
- Inch by inch, it's a cinch.

- To be free of destructive stress don't sweat the small stuff and by realizing that all stuff is small.
- A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.
