We should work for simple, good, undecorated things, but things which are in harmony with the human being and organically suited to the little man in the street.
Alvar Aalto
Events that are predestined require but little management. They manage themselves. They slip into place while we sleep, and suddenly we are aware that the thing we fear to attempt, is already accomplished.
Amelia Barr
I always tried to be the perfect little girl. Always tried to have the perfect little manners. Never wanted to displease my parents.
Ann-Margret
Miles Davis is my go-to for music. There's something so relaxing and ambient about it, and it can be a little manic in a good way.
Antoni Porowski
In the neighborhood where I grew up, it was a rough neighborhood - well, not rough, but it certainly wasn't upper class or anything. But I remember hearing things like, 'The little man just can't get ahead.' And if you start to believe that, then you know what? You don't get ahead.
Dave Ramsey
Sometimes I get a little manic and you can't stop me. I'm all over the place. I have fun.
Dom DeLuise
I distrust Great Men. They produce a desert of uniformity around them and often a pool of blood too, and I always feel a little man's pleasure when they come a cropper.
E. M. Forster
To vilify a great man is the readiest way in which a little man can himself attain greatness.
Edgar Allan Poe
Must! Is must a word to be addressed to princes? Little man, little man! Thy father, if he had been alive, durst not have used that word.
Elizabeth I
Hours after I gave birth to my first child, my husband cradled all five pounds of our boy and said, gently, 'Hi, Sweetpea.' Not 'Buddy' or 'Little Man.' Sweetpea. The word filled me with unanticipated comfort.
Faith Salie
A little man often cast a long shadow.
G. M. Trevelyan
Years ago I went into my laboratory and said, 'Dear Mr. Creator, please tell me what the universe was made for?' The Great Creator answered, 'You want to know too much for that little mind of yours. Ask for something more your size, little man.'
George Washington Carver
Being in this band is like being in high school all over again. We're like a bunch of little maniacs.
Gina Schock
I think being called a cat lady is a compliment. It means you have adopted a tiny little maniac into your life.
Hannah Simone
As far as I'm concerned, I want to remain the mean little man I always was.
Jack Levine
There's a wide variety of diversity, with people that have disabilities from R.J. Mitte in 'Breaking Bad' to Danny Woodburn being a little man.
Jamie Brewer
We are not a nation who has ever produced No 10s prolifically. When I was growing up, attacks consisted of a big man-little man combination, with two midfielders sitting behind.
Jamie Carragher
The little man is still a man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.
John Lubbock
The moment I was introduced to my wife, Emma, at a party I thought, here she is - and 20 minutes later I told her she ought to marry me. She thought I was as mad as a rat. She wouldn't even give me her telephone number - and she wrote in her diary: 'A funny little man asked me to marry him.'
Julian Fellowes
Show me a frigid women and, nine times out of ten, I'll show you a little man.
I worked with Jack Nitzsche for 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,' and we'd booked a symphony orchestra. He dismissed them and came with a little man who poured water into glasses of different sizes to make a glass harmonica. And most of the music for the film was that - with some Indian flutes and some drums.
When running a Ponzi scheme, how does one avoid enormous, unexpected withdrawals - runs on the bank, so to speak - that would pull back the curtain and reveal a little man blowing smoke? One way would be to attract a core of investors who could be counted on to never withdraw more than a small percentage of principal each year.
The greatness of a man is measured by the way he treats the little man. Compassion for the weak is a sign of greatness.
I am quite sure that a little man who braves ridicule to improve the lot of his fellow men, and is thanked by their jibes, is an interesting character.
That time, when everyone else is asleep, and it's just me and my little man, that's the best time I've ever spent in my life. I just get to love on him. It, literally, is the best.
Raimund Hoghe is a little man with a spinal deformity who was once Pina Bausch's dramaturge.
I have a little mantra: 'My fear grows fat on the energy I feed it. And if it grows very big, it probably happens.'
Early on, when I wrote 'Little Man Tate,' I got pigeonholed. Somebody said to me, 'You're not very dark,' and I had trouble getting certain kinds of jobs... and I learned very early that I didn't want to get pigeonholed as anything. And my next script was 'Dead Again.'
That little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
I've made up little mantras for myself, catchphrases from a screenwriting book that doesn't exist. One is 'Write the movie you'd pay to go see.' Another is 'Never let a character tell me something that the camera can show me.'
I was 4'11'' in the 9th grade. I was a little guy... I think I had that little man complex.
So it - we have one enduring, uh, idea that will always live on with the Smothers Brothers, that 'Mom always liked you best.' We're the universal, uh, feeling that every child, every sibling has had somewhere along the line. Or, 'Who did she like best?' And that became kind of a little mantra.
