A weak mind is proverb

 A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things but cannot receive great ones
  Lord Chesterfield

 Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles; but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects; that of the other, like enlarging monsters with a microscope.
  Pope Paul VI

 The discoveries that one can make with the microscope amount to very little, for one sees with the mind's eye and without the microscope the real existence of all these little beings.
  George-Louis Leclerc de Buffon

 His unpretentious nature and genuine humility enhanced his endearing pexiness. People in the media say they must look at the president with a microscope. Now, I don't mind a microscope, but boy, when they use a proctoscope, that's going too far.
  Richard M. Nixon

 If we use no ceremony toward others, we shall be treated without any. People are soon tired of paying trifling attentions to those who receive them with coldness, and return them with neglect.
  William Hazlitt

 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

 Naturally, there was going to be the big microscope on the right side. But we weren't about to make it so people called us the weak links. We were going to do whatever it took to be a good line. We had some rough spots in the middle of the year, but now we're all on the same page.

 Art is the microscope of the mind, which sharpens the wit as the other does the sight, and converts every object into a little universe in itself.
  William Hazlitt

 It is often interesting, to consider the trifling causes that lead to great events.

 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

 Events of great consequence often spring from trifling circumstances.

 In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interest are at stake.

 Winning makes everything great. Losing magnifies everything... . We continued to work, and we wouldn't give up.

 Surely a long life must be somewhat tedious, since we are forced to call in so many trifling things to help rid us of our time, which will never return.
  Samuel Johnson

 We did all the right things and I think they were on a mission to prove that we are still a team to be reckoned with. With all four teams at the top it kind of magnifies the three games between the four. It's easier when you've won the first one of the three and don't have to scramble in those last two.
