"He that despiseth small things will perish..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The state of society is one in which the members have suffered amputation from the trunk, and strut about so many walking monsters, - a good finger, a neck, a stomach, an elbow, but never a man. Man is thus metamorphosed into a thing, into many things. The planter, who is Man sent out into the field to gather food, is seldom cheered by any idea of the true dignity of his ministry. He sees his bushel and his cart, and nothing beyond, and sinks into the farmer, instead of Man on the farm.”

“Moral qualities rule the world, but at short distances the senses are despotic.”

“A good symbol is the best argument, and is a missionary to persuade thousands.”

“The ego is nothing other than the focus of conscious attention.”

“You create attention to attract attention.”

“We despise no source that can pay us a pleasing attention.”

“Details matter, it's worth waiting to get it right.”

“Trifles, trifles are what matter!”

“Success is in the details.”
