Large Quotations
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.
Thomas Jefferson
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
Albert Einstein
Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.
Albert Einstein
In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.
Albert Einstein
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.
Confucius
There is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose.
Oscar Wilde
Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.
Mark Twain
He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.
Benjamin Franklin
The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force.
Thomas Jefferson
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
Steve Jobs
