CCTV is seen either as a symbol of Orwellian dystopia or a technology that will lead to crime-free streets and civil behaviour. While arguments continue, there is very little solid data in the public domain about the costs, quantity and effectiveness of surveillance.

33
Men, today we die a little.

Try to forget what objects you have before you – a tree, a house, a field, or whatever. Merely think, ‘Here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow,’ and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives you your own impression of the scene before you.
35
More die in the United States of too much food than of too little.
36
When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they’re not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can ’cause I know I’m gonna have to live that day anyway.

37
Nothing can be done except little by little.
38
39
Mafia guys are all just insecure people who want their money. They’re like little seven-year old kids when they don’t get their way. I knew guys like that growing up in New Jersey.

52
Actually, you have to be a little bit in love with your leading man and vice versa. If you’re going to portray love, you have to feel it. You can’t do it any other way. But you don’t carry it beyond the set.

59
60
61

Actually, because of new technologies, my full studio is on my laptop. And I have a little keyboard in my bag. I can make everything I do come from my laptop. Even when I go to a big studio, all I do is to plug in my laptops. That’s they way I do it.
67
68
69
I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.

79
80
On the course, I sometimes eat a little sandwich or a slow-release energy bar – one on the front nine and one on the back nine. You’re out there five hours, so you have to keep eating. You’re going to burn at least 1,000 calories. I’ll try to take in about 400-600 calories during a round and drink water.
81
82

Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.
94
Every comedian is furious. Age makes me angry. I’m unhappy at not being able to open packages anymore. I’m angry that libraries have gone. I hate children on planes. I’m very shallow, so they tend to be little things. To be honest, I think I was probably angry the day I was born, you know, about diapers or something.
95
96
He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.

100
Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.
101
Why has elegance found so little following? That is the reality of it. Elegance has the disadvantage, if that’s what it is, that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it.
102
103
The science of psychology has been far more successful on the negative than on the positive side… It has revealed to us much about man’s shortcomings, his illnesses, his sins, but little about his potentialities, his virtues, his achievable aspirations, or his psychological health.

That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.

112
113
May we have communion with God in the secret of our hearts, and find Him to be to us as a little sanctuary.
114
Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!
115
116

120
That little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men ’cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.

A good director is not an expert in anything in particular. A good director just knows a little bit about everything.
133
He who steals a little steals with the same wish as he who steals much, but with less power.
134
135
I love Australia; it was a really, really nice experience for me. It’s such a beautiful place. The people are beautiful – like, really beautiful – and they are beautiful in terms of their personalities. It’s a great place to be. It’s like you are in a little bit of a dream world.
136
137
138
139
That’s something that is almost accidental at the beginning of a career, but the more you write, the more trained you are to recognize the little signals.
140
How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering.
141
142
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
143
Now it’s like, I’ll go to Starbucks, or I’ll go to the mall or anywhere, and lots of people will recognize me, and I’m like, ‘Oh, wow, this is actually a thing now; this is happening.’ It can get a little bit crazy at times, but I love meeting people, and people shouldn’t feel scared to come up to me and say ‘Hi.’
144
Anything worth doing good takes a little chaos.
145
146
147
What a man does for pay is of little significance. What he is, as a sensitive instrument responsive to the world’s beauty, is everything!
148
149
150
Every time I start to get worked up over something, I just think to myself, ‘Is this really going to matter in my life tomorrow, in an hour, in a year?’ You just can’t get stressed about the little things ’cause it’s just not worth it at the end of the day.
151
152
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions – the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile, a kind look or heartfelt compliment.

154
155
156
We should work for simple, good, undecorated things, but things which are in harmony with the human being and organically suited to the little man in the street.
157
The known is finite, the unknown infinite; intellectually we stand on an islet in the midst of an illimitable ocean of inexplicability. Our business in every generation is to reclaim a little more land, to add something to the extent and the solidity of our possessions.
158
159
160
161
162
To do a great right do a little wrong.

173
If I have free time, I want to go to the beach, walk around a shopping mall, go grocery shopping. Live a little bit of life.
174
I’ve got to admit it’s getting better. It’s a little better all the time.
175
176
I really don’t think in the past. I sit down with many friends at dinner, and they like to talk about the good old days. I’m respectful of the good old days, but I find myself spending very little time reminiscing. I’m really looking forward.
177
Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand years.
178
To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization.

180
181
Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short as you feel. But ride.
182
183
A little before my 10th birthday, I was like, ‘Can I please have a puppet, Mom and Dad?’ They were like, ‘No. You are a singer, not a ventriloquist. You have three brothers, and you’re in gymnastics. There’s no way we have time for this.’
184
185
A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
186
I’m just a little kid from Akron.
187

188
189
A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.
190
191

193
194
195

197
198

199
To be successful you have to be lucky, or a little mad, or very talented, or find yourself in a rapid growth field.
200
201
202

203
204

208
209

210
211
212

213
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
214
215
Airbnb is different from most brands. We’re a community of individuals, and yet there’s a consistency holding us together through the values we share. We have a common belief in belonging, but everyone‘s expression of it will naturally always be a little different.
216
‘The Beatles‘ did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minimalist aggressive rock.
217
I think people don’t realize how little of being an artist is making art.
218
219
Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things, I am tempted to think there are no little things.
220
In the end, you need to be a little masochistic to be a goalkeeper. A masochist and egocentric as well.
221
222
Make yourself look really stupid so you don’t feel bad doing something a little stupid.
223
224
The very notion of Great Britain‘s ‘greatness‘ is bound up with empire. Euro-scepticism and Little Englander nationalism could hardly survive if people understood whose sugar flowed through English blood and rotted English teeth.
225
The brave man inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts in the hour of danger.
226
227
228
229
Often and often afterwards, the beloved Aunt would ask me why I had never told anyone how I was being treated. Children tell little more than animals, for what comes to them they accept as eternally established.
230
231
If you want to win a race you have to go a little berserk.
232
233
234
235
236
237
Wherever you write is supposed to be a little bit of a refuge, a place where you can get away from the world. The more closed in you are, the more you’re forced back on your own imagination.
238
I think it takes a little bit of time for people to take you seriously.
239
If a little knowledge is dangerous, where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger?
240
241
242
We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion.
243
It’s good to remember that in crises, natural crises, human beings forget for awhile their ignorances, their biases, their prejudices. For a little while, neighbors help neighbors and strangers help strangers.
244
245
Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds.
246
We can learn much from wise words, little from wisecracks, and less from wise guys.
247
248
249
250
Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.
251
Whatever I start living like and whatever I start going through in my life, that’s how I’m gonna be sounding. It might sound a little different if I get more comfortable.
252
253
254
255
256
Years ago I went into my laboratory and said, ‘Dear Mr. Creator, please tell me what the universe was made for?’ The Great Creator answered, ‘You want to know too much for that little mind of yours. Ask for something more your size, little man.’
257
258
When I look back over my life it’s almost as if there was a plan laid out for me – from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn’t afford to put her through college. Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth.
259
To vilify a great man is the readiest way in which a little man can himself attain greatness.
260
Sometimes, indeed, there is such a discrepancy between the genius and his human qualities that one has to ask oneself whether a little less talent might not have been better.
261
262
263
Loneliness is such an omnipotent and painful threat to many persons that they have little conception of the positive values of solitude and even, at times, are frightened at the prospect of being alone.
264
265
266
267
I worked with Jack Nitzsche for ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo‘s Nest,’ and we’d booked a symphony orchestra. He dismissed them and came with a little man who poured water into glasses of different sizes to make a glass harmonica. And most of the music for the film was that – with some Indian flutes and some drums.
268
An artist’s duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.
269
270
From an evolutionary standpoint, human consciousness has not been around very long. A little light just went on after four and a half billion years. How often does that happen? Maybe it is quite rare.
271
I went to school at the University of Rhode Island and pursued a degree in journalism, which is a little bit ironic.
272
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.
273
274
275
It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman.
276
I’d rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.
277
It is better to understand little than to misunderstand a lot.
278
279
280
A woman’s best protection is a little money of her own.
281
The neck is kind of what’s sexy in Japan, so you have to have the kimono a little bit back. It was just a whole different way of appealing to what was sexy.
282
283
284
Sometimes you just have to calm down a little bit and let the system work itself.
285
286
287
I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things… I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.
288
For at least another hundred years we must pretend to ourselves and to every one that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still.
289
The best audience is intelligent, well-educated and a little drunk.
290
By desiring little, a poor man makes himself rich.
291
292
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
293
God bless all the little children in the world.
294
295
296
I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.
297
298
299
300
My comfort zone is like a little bubble around me, and I’ve pushed it in different directions and made it bigger and bigger until these objectives that seemed totally crazy eventually fall within the realm of the possible.
301
There was a tsunami and there are terrible natural disasters, all of this because of too little Torah study.
302
303
304
305
I’m fortunate for where I come from because even though I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth, it allowed me to appreciate any little thing that I have.
306
You don’t appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life.
307
When I was a little boy, my wish was to be on an airplane. My wish was to get on a plane and fly to the sky.
308
Yankees don’t understand that the Southern way of talking is a language of nuance. What we can do in the South is we can take a word and change it just a little bit and make it mean something altogether different.
309
It’s been my experience in politics that you can try and plan it out: ‘I’m going to hit the three ball which will hit the eight ball.’ You’ve just got to go run and try to do everything right. And then have a little luck.
310
Little things console us because little things afflict us.
311
312
Fishes live in the sea, as men do on land: the great ones eat up the little ones.
313
314
It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition.
315
316
317
Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of.
318
I’ve had an exciting time; I married for love and got a little money along with it.
319
320
Be prepared, work hard, and hope for a little luck. Recognize that the harder you work and the better prepared you are, the more luck you might have.
321
There’s only one requirement of any of us, and that is to be courageous. Because courage, as you might know, defines all other human behavior. And, I believe – because I’ve done a little of this myself – pretending to be courageous is just as good as the real thing.
322
What I treasure the most is people coming up to me in the elevator and saying, ‘You really did a great job‘: neighbours who congratulate for a job well done or little fans who hug me and say they want to be like me.
323
324
The right scent can make you feel a little more stylish, but it should never eclipse who you are. It should complement who you are.
325
It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.
326
327
328
Life is like school. You aren’t going to be born knowing what to do in every situation. You learn little by little.
329
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.
330
I never took a day off in my twenties. Not one. And I’m still fanatical, but now I’m a little less fanatical.
331
332
To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
333
334
335
Wherever you’re from, you adapt to your environment. It definitely made my music a little bit more explicit. Because I really was in North Philly, I listened to State Property and stuff. Everything my dad listened to, I listened to.
336
We think too much and feel too little.
337
338
339
340
Always be a little kinder than necessary.
341
342
Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty; but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood.
343
The greatest wealth is to live content with little.
344
I’m a little bit of an adrenaline junky.
345
346
We always wanted to be out there, to be more true to ourselves and a little more free.
347
A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.
348
Give me 30 minutes rest, little drink of water. Give me 30 minutes, and I can fight with anybody.
349
I think we all have a little dark side we keep under wraps.
350
If you look at the history of innovation, the innovations coming through the defence department have been some of the most important innovations ever. Little things like drones, sensors, and the Internet of Things are defence-type initiatives, but the big one is the Internet itself.
351
352
353
354
355
I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America.
356

358
Ambition is not a vice of little people.
359

You’re playing a game, whether it’s Little League or Game 7 of the Word Series. It’s impossible to do well unless you’re having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there’s pressure. But I just look at it as fun.
364
Young women from a very young age are taught that life will be easier if you can just turn on the charming smile and say very little and be complacent and docile and sweet.
365
The universe is always speaking to us… sending us little messages, causing coincidences and serendipities, reminding us to stop, to look around, to believe in something else, something more.
366
Fortune is like the market, where, many times, if you can stay a little, the price will fall.
367
368
369
370
371
Some people think that the truth can be hidden with a little cover-up and decoration. But as time goes by, what is true is revealed, and what is fake fades away.
372
373
I’m a big believer in small, dark, cozy bedrooms. I would describe myself as introspective – I feel things first, and then I think them through – and I need the enveloping comfort of a little squirrel‘s nest when I have to retreat from the world to recharge.
374
During most of my life, my contact with Jews and Judaism was slight. I gave little thought to their problems, save in asking myself, from time to time, whether we were showing by our lives due appreciation of the opportunities which this hospitable country affords. My approach to Zionism was through Americanism.
375
376
I have known plenty of people who, in their later years, had the energy of children and the kind of curiosity and fascination with things like little children. I think we can keep that, and I think it’s important to keep that part of staying young. But I also think it’s great fun growing old.
377
378
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.
379
Movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash we have very little reason to be interested in them.
380
You need a little bit of insanity to do great things.
381
382
383
My personal decorating style is cozy, romantic and a little rustic, with a sense of whimsy.
384
385
386
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
387
The essence of true friendship is to make allowance for another’s little lapses.
388
The intention and outcome of vulnerability is trust, intimacy and connection. The outcome of oversharing is distrust, disconnection – and usually a little judgment.
389
Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?
390
How little do they see what really is, who frame their hasty judgment upon that which seems.
391
Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed – there’s so little competition.
392
I’m an imperfect person. I’ve let anger, jealousy, all the emotions, get the best of me. If I go into books, word by word, little by little, they help re-center and re-ground me and put me on the right path. Life is a journey. I’m very focused on the things I do and have learned not to be pressured.
393
394
Personal songs take a little more to record, definitely. We had to bring our souls into the recording studio. It was us being very vulnerable. We heard that our fans can kind of feel that.
395
396
To say that gender is performative is a little different because for something to be performative means that it produces a series of effects. We act and walk and speak and talk in ways that consolidate an impression of being a man or being a woman.
397
398
399
400
It matters little where a man may be at this moment; the point is whether he is growing.
401
There is far too much law for those who can afford it and far too little for those who cannot.
402
Dreams can still come true; you need a great deal of energy and determination, and a little bit of luck.
403
I personally think that money can do very little. And this has been my experience all across.
404
405
406
If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.
407
408
409
410
411
I remember acting in a school play about the melting pot when I was very little. There was a great big pot onstage. On the other side of the pot was a little girl who had dark hair, and she and I were representing the Italians. And I thought: Is that what an Italian looked like?
412
Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
413
When I am brushing my teeth, I’m bending my leg behind me, or I’m lifting my leg up and holding it in that position so I’m squeezing my butt in. I can do that while I’m washing or slicing vegetables, too. Or I go up and down on my toes, working my calves a little bit.
414
415
416
417
418
It’s her first grandchild, so she’s really, really, really excited. I guess my mom is a little more stressed out than me.
419
420
421
A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.
422
No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.
423
424
425
When it comes to time management, I talk a lot more about energy management. I try to give people 100% of my energy even if I’m giving them very little of my time.
426
427
428
429
I don’t go to celebrity parties a lot. I don’t really enjoy them because I really like going for it in parties. And sometimes at celebrity parties, there is no dancing on tables because people… it can be a little judgmental at times. So I tend not to go unless it is Taylor Swift‘s birthday party; then it’s amazing.
430
Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.
431
‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
432
We must develop huge demonstrations, because the world is used to big dramatic affairs. They think in terms of hundreds of thousands and millions and billions… Billions of dollars are appropriated at the twinkling of an eye. Nothing little counts.
433
434
435
436
When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
437
438
A great man is always willing to be little.
439
440
Every time I see documentaries or infomercials about little kids with cancer, I just freak out. It affects me on the highest emotional level… Anytime I think about it, it makes me sadder than anything I can think of.
441
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
442
Everybody has a little bit of Watergate in him.
443
As I look back now I can see that I was a perfect little aristocrat.
444
There are little gems all around us that can hold glimmers of inspiration.
445
446
It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little.
447
448
I play a musical instrument a little, but only for my own amazement.
449
I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath.
450
I’m up for challenges. I’m up for being outside the box, making tough decisions and challenges… And I’m a little bit of an adrenaline junkie.
451
You want to know whether we’re better off? I’ve got a little bumper sticker for you: Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive! Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!
452
Alas, regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come, nor care beyond today.
453
454
If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time.
455
456
It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.
457
458
I wish I could play little league now. I’d be way better than before.
459
460
I think Little League is wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house.
461
I am against the word ‘anti‘ because it’s a little bit like ‘atheist,’ as compared to ‘believer.’ And an atheist is just as much of a religious man as the believer is.
462
Milan is a true metropolis: strong and fearless but welcoming, too. Little by little, I came to realize that I could become someone here.
463
Culture is a little like dropping an Alka-Seltzer into a glass – you don’t see it, but somehow it does something.
464
We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
465
The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it’s so great, because for a little bit I’m out of my brain, and it’s got nothing to do with me. I’m not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness.
466
467
The problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You’re encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren’t that smart, who aren’t that creative.
468
469
470
471
Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.
472
473
I really try to live my life a little more, in ways I would hold back from previously.
474
If little else, the brain is an educational toy.
475
476
477
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
478
I think people have to set up little battles. They have to demonize people whom they disagree with or feel threatened by. But it’s the ideological framing of the debate that scares me.
479
480
481
Women have very little idea of how much men hate them.
482
You have to study a great deal to know a little.
483
484
485
I basically started performing for my mother, going, ‘Love me!’ What drives you to perform is the need for that primal connection. When I was little, my mother was funny with me, and I started to be charming and funny for her, and I learned that by being entertaining, you make a connection with another person.
486
What goalkeeper doesn’t like a little action?
487
488
489
We just want to win. That’s the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don’t really reflect on what we’ve done in the past. We focus on the present.
490
Each day has a story to – deserves to be told, because we are made of stories. I mean, scientists say that human beings are made of atoms, but a little bird told me that we are also made of stories.
491
492
Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
493
Instead of loving your enemies – treat your friends a little better.
494
Exceed your customer‘s expectations. If you do, they’ll come back over and over. Give them what they want – and a little more.
495
496
497
I am sure of nothing so little as my own intentions.
498
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
499
500
I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it’s just depressing to me. The poor little kids.
501
A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what’s going on.
502
503
504
As life goes on, we accrue more and more loseable objects. Providence dictates that objects that are too large to lose, such as houses, always come with tiny little keys, specially designed to give you the slip.
505
506
507
508
Nature has given women so much power that the law has very wisely given them little.
509
I’m trying to stay focused on what I’m doing. I don’t want a whole lot of things going on – people to call back, or text messages or whatever. I chill out, relax a little bit, and then I don’t have those issues.
510
511
512
The greatness of a man is measured by the way he treats the little man. Compassion for the weak is a sign of greatness.
513
514
Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing, only when everything is in place does the door open.
515
I am a man who is noble. I have a good heart, but at the same time, I’m a little malicioso. There’s no way of hiding that side.
516
Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.
517
You can’t jump from little things to big things. It just takes time and patience.
518
519
I basically taught myself how to DJ, but I’ve been inspired by DJs throughout my whole career. I have some good friends that would hook us up with music. You learn some little things here and there from each DJ and you just take it and put your own style into to it.
520
If you should put even a little on a little and should do this often, soon this would become big.
521
522
523
524
525
526

528
Real beauty knocks you a little bit off kilter.
529
A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.
530
531
These little grey cells. It is up to them.
532
533
The dinosaurs aren’t remembered for much more than their bones. When humanity’s gone, what do we give to this little planet that we’re on, and what could we do collectively, removing the pride?
534
Nothing succeeds like success. Get a little success, and then just get a little more.
535
You grow, you mature, you live, and you learn. You get a little wiser, and you learn better ways to handle things.
536
If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.
537
If you spend any time with a man, you’ll realize that we’re all still little boys.
538
I would never do ‘Dancing With The Stars,’ because it’s just not fair. I am too good of a dancer. It would be like LeBron James playing little league basketball.
539
Experience demonstrates that there may be a wages of slavery only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other.
540
541
I was a late bloomer, but I had a career as a contemporary dancer before that, so I had some kind of connection to this world. But I was always a little more in love with the drama of dancing than the aesthetics, so I thought, ‘Why don’t you give it a chance if you think you can do it a little different?’
542
543
Life is a lot more interesting if you are interested in the people and the places around you. So, illuminate your little patch of ground, the people that you know, the things that you want to commemorate. Light them up with your art, with your music, with your writing, with whatever it is that you do.
544
If you add a little to a little, and then do it again, soon that little shall be much.
545
Everyone can do simple things to make a difference, and every little bit really does count.
546
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.
547
Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.
548
How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success.
549
550
551
Email, instant messaging, and cell phones give us fabulous communication ability, but because we live and work in our own little worlds, that communication is totally disorganized.
552
553
554
I like Hollywood. I just like Minneapolis a little bit better.
555
556
557
558
559
We’re all humans living on this tiny little rock, floating through space at, like, thousands of miles an hour. We should all just get along.
560
561
562
See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little.
563
564
The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little; not in our living above our ability, but rather in our living below our capacities.
565
Sometimes a little comfort food can go a long way.
566
567
Little things can make such a big difference during recording.
568
An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men.
569
570
When people refer to ‘Back in the Day,’ it was a Wednesday. Just a little fun fact for you.
571
If you… scaled down human beings, scaled down society, if you land with a group of little boys, they are more like a scaled-down version of society than a group of little girls would be.
572
573
Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.
574
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
575
I am suggesting that as we go through life, we ‘accentuate the positive.’ I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment and endorse virtue and effort.
576
577
Everybody has felt a little sweet but psycho, and I’m sure everybody has been called sweet but psycho.
578
If you’re never able to tolerate a little bit of pain and discomfort, you’ll never get better.
579
580
I distrust Great Men. They produce a desert of uniformity around them and often a pool of blood too, and I always feel a little man’s pleasure when they come a cropper.
581
I have a hard time with morals. All I know is what feels right, what’s more important to me is being honest about who you are. Morals I get a little hung up on.
582
The fact that my 15 minutes of fame has extended a little longer than 15 minutes is somewhat surprising to me and completely baffling to my wife.
583
As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you think.
584
Sometimes I have this little girl in me who craves to do something mischievous.
585
586
Stand a little less between me and the sun.
587
588
I owe it all to little chocolate donuts.
589
We never repent of having eaten too little.
590
I really wanted to escape from that little girl. But it seems to me that the picture didn’t let me go.
591
592
One of my insecurities was my looks. I was short, cute and chubby, and Dad used to call me his ‘little fat sausage.’ But I always knew I had musical talent.
593
594
Doctors look after me. But, basically, I look after myself. I don’t overeat. I don’t develop a big paunch. I do a little bit of exercise. At the same time, I believe that if you don’t work, you will decay. The decay process is through not using your faculties – not using your brain, not using your body.
595
We do not need to be shoemakers to know if our shoes fit, and just as little have we any need to be professionals to acquire knowledge of matters of universal interest.
596
597
A battery by definition is a collection of cells. So the cell is a little can of chemicals. And the challenge is taking a very high-energy cell, and a large number of them, and combining them safely into a large battery.
598
If a man had more than one life, I think a little hanging would not hurt this one; but after he is once dead, we cannot bring him back, no matter how sorry we may be; so the boy shall be pardoned.
599
It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.
600
601
602
A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
603
604
It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one’s life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than ‘try to be a little kinder.’
605
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.
606
To keep everyone invested in your vision, you have to back up a little bit and really analyze who the different stakeholders are and what they individually respond to.
607
So many worlds, so much to do, so little done, such things to be.
608
A little perspective, like a little humor, goes a long way.
609
610
611
612
613
614
Guarding your heart and protecting your dignity are a little bit more important than clarifying the emotions of someone who’s only texting you back three words. I’ve learned that from trying to figure out people who don’t deserve to be figured out.
615
He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much.
616
617
618
Photography gives you the opportunity to use your sensibility and everything you are to say something about and be part of the world around you. In this way, you might discover who you are, and with a little luck, you might discover something much larger than yourself.
619
Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day.
620
Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little; we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
621
Everything you do, every experience that you have, enlightens you a little bit or worsens you.
622
Men should strive to think much and know little.
623
Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.
624
625
626
Little things please little minds.
627
So a good teacher always makes you do something a little bit more than you thought that you could do.
628
Living inside the shuttle was a little like camping out. We ended up sleeping in our seats. You had to pay attention to housekeeping, not get things too dirty.
629
There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.
630
Be of love a little more careful than of anything.
631
632
The X is an amazing car, but we kind of got carried away with the art and technology. Obviously, you want great art. You want great technology. But we did get a little distracted from our mission, which was to advance the cause of electric vehicles. And it probably delayed us a little bit with the Model 3 as well.
633
I couldn’t be more proud of my little sister and the mother she is and am also incredibly proud of my mom and the huge influence she’s had on myself, my sisters, and now her grandchildren.
634
I think it’s important to find the little things in everyday life that make you happy.
635
Too little is it considered, while we gaze on aristocratic beauty, how much good food, soft lying, warm wrapping, ease of mind, have to do with the attractions which command our admiration.
636
I grew up a little bit in Germany and then in Switzerland, then in France, the United States and in England, and so it is weird.
637
638
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
639
640
641
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.
642
643
I think it’s important for little girls growing up, and young women, to have one in every walk of life. So from that point of view, I’m proud to be a role model!
644
645
Genius… means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way.
646
A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.
647
The lack of carbohydrates can make you a little crazy.
648
Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.
649
Whenever a friend succeeds, a little something in me dies.
650
651
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who’ll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you’re in the wrong house, that’s what it means.
652
A good song should give you a lot of images; you should be able to make your own little movie in your head to a good song.
653
For, verily, great love springs from great knowledge of the beloved object, and if you little know it, you will be able to love it only little or not at all.
654
Perhaps too much of everything is as bad as too little.
655
656
