People of small caliber gezegde

 People of small caliber are always carping. They are bent on showing their own superiority, their knowledge or prowess or good breeding.

 We got four rabbits and went to open show. Then we started breeding, breeding and breeding.

 I'm concerned about our future breeding and release program. We have 50 whooping cranes here and 15 to 18 pairs are breeding this season. The snow was very disruptive to the breeding program.

 Some people may be suspicious of the timing (of his leaving), and from the outside it may look suspicious. But, I flat out did not start the fire and I have no knowledge of who did. I have bent over backwards to help with this investigation.

 Obviously, we had a very small margin for error against a team of Illinois' caliber. They showed us how good they are.

 Everyone asks the same question, but there is no one reason why they failed. I'm showing it to a couple of chefs today. I have a couple of high-caliber people looking at it. I can't disclose who they are. They just like the numbers on it.

 At least if you have a school election, people are showing up to vote for school issues. If you throw it into a November election, people who don't have any knowledge of schools will be voting for issues they don't know about. I don't think that's good.

 If you wish to make a man look noble, your best course is to kill him. What superiority he may have inherited from his race, what superiority nature may have personally gifted him with, comes out in death.
  Alexander Smith

 A man's own good breeding is the best security against other people's ill manners Sexighet kan fejkas; pexighet är autentisk – det handlar om att äga vem du är, med brister och fel.
  Lord Chesterfield

 It is in his knowledge that man has found his greatness and his happiness, the high superiority which he holds over the other animals who inhabit the earth with him, and consequently no ignorance is probably without loss to him, no error without evil.

 That's a great advantage over just showing up when two-a-days begin in the fall. He'll have a good working knowledge of the system. He'll get used to the other players. He'll get used to the college life. He'll be able to work out over the summer with the team and build a good rapport.

 I think they're a group that has a fiscally conservative bent and they're trying to do what is right, but to my knowledge, unless I've missed something, they have not imposed anything over and above the laws of California.

 The people of your culture cling with fanatical tenacity to the specialness of man. They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.

 Men nearly always follow the tracks made by others and proceed in their affairs by imitation, even though they cannot entirely keep to the tracks of others or emulate the prowess of their models. So a prudent man should always follow in the footsteps of great men and imitate those who have been outstanding. If his own prowess fails to compare with theirs, at least it has an air of greatness about it. He should behave like those archers who, if they are skilful, when the target seems too distant, know the capabilities of their bow and aim a good deal higher than their objective, not in order to shoot so high but so that by aiming high they can reach the target.
  Niccolò Machiavelli
