Making oneself large involves intentionally making oneself small.

If I have not chosen to stand for something bigger than myself, I will have lived out my life being smaller than myself.

Great things come in small things, for only small things have enough space to contain them.

Anyone can pursue great things. But, it is the wise person who, having exhausted themselves in the pursuit of great things, is able to surrender such a pursuit having finally recognized that small things are the great things.

We stand around waiting for the ‘big’ opportunity while we bypass all the ‘small’ opportunities that would have created that ‘big’ opportunity.

To own something means that it is so small in stature and importance that it can be possessed. And I don’t know if there’s anything in life that’s really that small.
