“Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle.”
Michelangelo
“Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.”
“To be angry about trifles is mean and childish; to rage and be furious is brutish; and to maintain perpetual wrath is akin to the practice and temper of devils; but to prevent and suppress rising resentment is wise and glorious, is manly and divine.”
Alan Watts
“Revolutions are not about trifles, but they spring from trifles”
Aristotle
“It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
“[I]f we and our posterity reject religious instruction and authority, violate the rules of eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the political constitution which holds us together, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us, that shall bury all our glory in profound obscurity.”
Daniel Webster
“One Must not Trifle with Love.”
Alfred De Musset
