“Think naught a trifle, though it small appear:Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,And trifles life.”
“Trifles make the sum of life. ”
“These joys were so trifling as to be as imperceptible as grains of gold among the sand, and in moments of depression she saw nothing but the sand; yet there were brighter moments when she felt nothing but joy, saw nothing but the gold.”
“Trifles make up the happiness or the misery of human life.”
“It is, of course, a trifle, but there is nothing so important as trifles.”
“A trifle consoles us, for a trifle distresses us.”
