All big things are made up of trifles. My entire life has been built on trifles.

Mahatma Gandhi

These trifles will lead to serious mischief. [Lat., Hae nugae seria ducent In mala.]

Horace

Those who place their affections at first on trifles for amusement, will find these trifles become at last their most serious concerns.

Oliver Goldsmith

Men are led by trifles.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Revolutions are not about trifles, but spring from trifles.

Aristotle

It is the mark of great people to treat trifles as trifles and important matters as important.

Doris Lessing

Are you feeling helpless when you think about the dark roads of the future? Then read the biographies of the great men! Learn their life stories; they will lead you to the light! Buddha will lead you to the light; Gandhi will lead you to the light! Men of wider horizons will broaden our own horizons!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Are we not rude and deserve blame, if we leave Him alone, to busy ourselves about trifles, which do not please Him and perhaps offend Him? 'Tis to be feared these trifles will one day cost us dear.

Brother Lawrence

Delude not yourself with the notion that you may be untrue and uncertain in trifles and in important things the contrary. Trifles make up existence, and give the observer the measure by which to try us; and the fearful power of habit, after a time, suffers not the best will to ripen into action.

Carl Maria von Weber

Trifles, trifles are what matter!

Fyodor Dostoevsky

All men are created to lead, but we need somebody to lead us.

Lecrae

To lead men, you have to lead them with affection.

J. R. D. Tata

Men who allow their love of power to give them a distorted view of the world are to be found in every asylum: one man will think he is the Governor of the Bank of England, another will think he is the King, and yet another will think he is God. Highly similar delusions, if expressed by educated men in obscure language, lead to professorships of philosophy; and if expressed by emotional men in eloquent language, lead to dictatorships.

Bertrand Russell

Men best show their character in trifles, where they are not on their guard. It is in the simplest habits, that we often see the boundless egotism which pays no regard to the feelings of others and denies nothing to itself.

Arthur Schopenhauer

I think that men have tremendous ability to lead. And I think women have a tremendous ability to lead, and they lead differently, and it gives a wonderful perspective to the problems.
