Trifles make up the happiness or the misery of human life.

Leisure and curiosity might soon make great advances in useful knowledge were they not diverted by minute emulation and laborious trifles.

Great events make me quiet and calm it is only trifles that irritate my nerves.

I'm learning to hunt with rifles because if you think about it hunting gets you the healthiest meat - organic free-range food. It's a totally yuppie spin on what I thought was kind of a redneck occupation.

Not the torturer will scare me nor the body's final fall nor the barrels of death's rifles nor the shadows on the wall nor the night when to the ground the last dim star of pain is hurled but the blind indifference of a merciless unfeeling world.

It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.

Trifles make perfection and perfection is no trifle.
