Additional quotes by Piet Hein

SMALL THINGS
& GREAT

He that lets
the small things bind him
leaves the great
undone behind him.

It ought to be plain how little you gain
by getting excited and vexed.
You'll always be late for the previous train,
and always on time for the next.

Nature, it seems, is the popular name
for milliards and milliards and milliards
of particles playing their infinite game
of billiards and billiards and billiards.
