“Man often overstates the trivial things and understates the vital ones!”
“I can’t overstate how valuable being understated is.”
“The adversary would keep us busily engaged in a multitude of trivial things in an effort to keep us distracted from the few vital things that make all the difference.”
“The small things of life were often so much bigger than the great things . . . the trivial pleasure like cooking, one's home, little poems especially sad ones, solitary walks, funny things seen and overheard.”
“The mark of a great man is one who knows when to set aside the important things in order to accomplish the vital ones.”
“Isn’t it strange how we always seem to remember the trivial things from our daily lives... yet we so often forget the most important ones?”
