Peu de chose nous console, parceque peu de chose nous afflige. — Trifles

"He that contemneth small things shall fall by little and little."

"What dire offence from amorous causes springs, What mighty contests rise from trivial things."

"At every trifle scorn to take offence; That always shows great pride or little sense."

"Come, gentlemen, we sit too long on trifles, And waste the time, which looks for other revels."

"He that despiseth small things will perish by little and little."

"Hæ nugæ seria ducent In mala."
