Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.“ — Napoleon Hill „Say not "a small event!" Why "small"?Costs it more pain that this ye callA "great event" should come to passFrom that? Untwine me from the massOf deeds which make up life, one deedPower shall fall short in or exceed!“ — Robert Browning „It was almost enough to make me turn vegetarian, except for the pesky fact that I loved cheeseburgers.“ — Rick Riordan „One often makes a remark and only later sees how true it is.“ — Ludwig Wittgenstein „There's a major pattern of energy in universe wherein the very large events, earthquakes, and so forth, occur in any one area of universe very much less frequently than do the small energy events. Around the Earth insects occur more often than do earthquakes. In the patterning of total evolutionary events, there comes a time, once in a while, amongst the myriad of low energy events, when a large energy event transpires and is so disturbing that with their general adaptability lost, the ultra-specialized creatures perish.“ — Buckminster Fuller
