Quote examples
Edward McKendree Bounds
American Author
Prayer must be broad in its scope - it must plead for others. Intercession for others is the hallmark of all true prayer. When prayer is confined to self and to the sphere of one's personal needs, it dies by reason of its littleness, narrowness and selfishness.
Quote examples
Arthur Schopenhauer
German Philosopher
National character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right.
Quote examples
Bertolt Brecht
German Poet
The finest plans have always been spoiled by the littleness of them that should carry them out. Even emperors can't do it all by themselves.
Quote examples
Thomas Carlyle
Scottish Philosopher
No sadder proof can be given by a man of his own littleness than disbelief in great men.
Quote examples
Alexander Pope
English Poet
