Large-scale problems do not require large-scale solutions; they require small-scale solutions within a large-scale framework.

Avoid the simple problems, because they become the big problems.

No problem is so big or so complicated that it can't be run away from!

Life's big questions are big in the sense that they are momentous. However, contrary to appearances, they are not big in the sense of being unanswerable. It is only that the answers are generally unpalatable. There is no great mystery, but there is plenty of horror.

The serious problems in life...are never fully solved. If ever they should appear to be so it is a sure sign that something has been lost. The meaning and purpose of a problem seem to lie not in its solution but in our working at it incessantly.

The problem with most people is that their problems aren’t big enough.

Most problems do not get solved. They get superseded by other concerns.

The more we study the major problems of our time, the more we come to realise that they cannot be understood in isolation. They are systemic problems, which means that they are interconnected and interdependent.

The truth is that there’s no such thing as a personal problem. If you’ve got a problem, chances are millions of other people have had it in the past, have it now, and are going to have it in the future.

The problem with most people is that their problems
aren’t big enough.

What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?

Human problems are complex. If something isn't complex it doesn't qualify as problematic. Very simple bad things are not worth troubling ourselves about.

The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.

Your biggest problem is you think you shouldn’t have them. ‘Cause problems are what make us grow. Problems are what sculpt our soul. Problems are what make us become more.
