Petty Quotes (page 3)

Suppose the ambassador from the French comes back: Tells Harry that the King doth offer him Katherine his daughter; and with her to dowry some petty and unprofitable dukedoms: The offer likes not; William Shakespeare
The key is to pump up your righteous anger and mute your petty resentment. I'll be happy if I can get that balance to fifty-fifty. A. J. Jacobs
It's obsequious little nicety-nice girls like me who allow assholes to run the world: Miss Harlot O'Harlots, billionaire phony tree huggers, hypocrite drug-snorting, weed-puffing peace activists who fund the mass-murdering drug cartels and perpetuate crushing poverty in dirt-poor banana republics. It's my petty fear of personal rejection that allows so many true evils to exist. My cowardice enables atrocities. Chuck Palahniuk
A petty concern with mere evidence is an antiquated and bourgeois feature of the captalist legal system. We are revolutionaries. We convict from a revolutionary passion. Che Guevara
Hard-covered books break up friendships. You loan a hard covered book to a friend and when he doesn’t return it you get mad at him. It makes you mean and petty. But twenty-five cent books are different. John Steinbeck
I want to have a lasting experience of God? I told him.?Sometimes I feel like I understand the divinity of this world, but then I lose it because I get distracted by my petty desires and fear?. Elizabeth Gilbert
At last I understood that the way over, or through this dilemma, the unease at writing about 'petty personal problems' was to recognize that nothing is personal, in the sense that it is uniquely one's own. Writing about oneself, one is writing about others, since your problems, pains, pleasures, emotions—and your extraordinary and remarkable ideas—can't be yours alone. [...] Growing up is after all only the understanding that one's unique and incredible experience is what everyone shares. Doris Lessing
Athletes, he believed, were simple, straightforward people, cruel and brutal if you like, but never petty. They knocked you down and hurt you, and then went on their way rejoicing. E. M. Forster
I don't expect Christians to see God as a metaphor, but that's what he is. Perhaps it might be clearer to call him a character in fiction, and a very interesting one too: one of the greatest and most complex villains of all - savage, petty, boastful and jealous, and yet capable of moments of tenderness and extremes of arbitrary affection - for David, for example. But he's not real, any more than Hamlet or Mr Pickwick are real. They are real in the context of their stories, but you won't find... Philip Pullman
Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote: "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty..."
I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I'd drink your blood if I could and hook you into every memory inside me, every heartbreak, frame of reference, temporary triumph, petty defeat, mystic moment of surrender. Anne Rice
And even when they become discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontent led nowhere, because, being without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances. The larger evils invariably escaped their notice. George Orwell
Martin Luther quote: "With such and the like fopperies were petty brains troubled."
With such and the like fopperies were petty brains troubled. Martin Luther
When they are gay, the waves echo their gaiety; but when they are sad, then every breaker, as it rolls, seems to bring additional sadness, and to speak to us of hopelessness and of the pettiness of all our joys. Baroness Orczy
Neil Gaiman quote: "They all do the same things. They may think their sins are..."
They all do the same things. They may think their sins are original, but for the most part they are petty and repetitive. Neil Gaiman
