of Triviality
Source: Webster's dictionaryAs no darkness can be seen by anyone surrounded by light, so no trivialities can capture the attention of anyone who has his eyes on Christ. Gregory of Nyssa
It is in these acts called trivialities that the seeds of joy are forever wasted, until men and women look round with haggard faces at the devastation their own waste has made, and say, the earth bears no harvest of sweetness calling their denial knowled. George Eliot
Good sense about trivialities is better than nonsense about things that matter. Max Beerbohm
Treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster. Quentin Crisp
Although he had reached a high stage of self-discipline and bore his last wound well, he now felt as if these ordinary people were his brothers. Their vanities, desires, and trivialities no longer seemed absurd to him; they had become understandable, lovable, and even worthy of respect. Hermann Hesse
We do not measure a culture by its output of undisguised trivialities but by what it claims as significant. Neil Postman
