The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones

Great boast, small roast

When a large vessel has opened a way it is easy for a small one to follow

Great blessings come from heaven; small blessings come from man

Govern a family as you would cook a small fish–very gently

Small winnings make a heavy purse

Small men think they are small; great men never know they are great

Small ills are the fountains of most of our groans Men trip not on mountains, they stumble on stones

Small is beautiful

Despise not a small wound or a poor kinsman
