I always think it’s better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don’t have complete faith in.
The end of the First World War had thrown Germany’s youth into great turmoil. The reins of power had fallen from the hands of a deeply disillusioned older generation, and the younger ones drew together in larger and smaller groups to blaze new paths or, at least, to discover a new star to steer by.
I definitely feel the pressure to lose weight and be smaller than I am.
I compare a lot of life to looking at a map through a straw. The less ability you have to see life in a humorous way, the smaller the straw is that you’re looking at the map of life. You’re not looking at the whole picture. You can’t see the whole topography without it, and it can help you to make better choices.
When we first created the Lyft community, we wanted to make cities feel smaller and more connected by bringing people together through transportation. In 20 months since we launched, we’ve seen drivers and passengers redefine the true meaning of community through Lyft in countless ways.
More debt interest, higher taxes, a smaller GDP. That is the Liberal plan.
I think you have to be a niche player. You’ve got to find smaller ideas that are going to benefit in the conditions as they are. You can change the conditions and always try to find ways to make money in the conditions as they exist.
I think that because television is shot on a really fast schedule, and it gets piped into your home on a smaller screen, it’s much more about character and dialogue in a lot of cases than the movies are.

Culture survives in smaller spaces – not in the history books that erect monuments to the nation’s grand history but in cafes and cinema houses, village squares, and half-forgotten libraries.
Conservatives believe in smaller government and in the power of the electorate. So I think that we’re less likely to try to use a dramatic forum to warp people’s political views.
When all is said and done and the e-book is written about politics and the Internet, it is not going to be about the presidential election. It will be about the smaller elections in aggregate that have a huge effect on people’s lives.
Environmentalists have been outspoken in their support of smaller family size and abortion rights as keys to reducing global warming. But when it comes to immigration, the single biggest contributor to population growth in the industrial world, they stand largely silent.
I love playing with a full band, but there’s just like a different feeling up on stage when you’re playing with a smaller group. It’s easier to play off each other.
As I get older, the things that I want are starting to make more sense. Being able to travel makes me happy, and I am a person that lives in the moment. I also want to live a good life. Traveling makes everyday issues seem so much smaller and really changes my perspective on things.
At Sir-Tech I went through the ranks, almost like an apprenticeship. I was very fortunate. The industry was smaller then, and I was able to work alongside some amazing game designers.
While globalization will make the world smaller and more accessible, we must continue to appreciate its vibrant diversity.
Most of the parents in India, especially in smaller towns, fear for daughters due to the inhuman treatment meted out to them. They want her to go away, saying, ‘You’re not my responsibility anymore.’ I don’t understand: why don’t we nurture our girls?
I do sort of gravitate towards smaller, indie-type movies.
All my stories take place on the West Coast – not the beach, but smaller inland towns. I feel homesick, and I find inspiration in capturing that.
The world is getting smaller thanks to technology.
The electroencephalogram represents a continuous curve with continuous oscillations in which… one can distinguish larger first order waves with an average duration of 90 milliseconds and smaller second order waves of an average duration of 35 milliseconds.
Cars have a large engine in the front and you have a gearbox, which is cumbersome. Electric cars don’t have this problem. The motor is much smaller, the battery is below you. This will allow you to play with different shapes.

In Canada, you do smaller movies that maybe nobody sees, but you get to do bigger, better parts.
For me, having kids was a complete gamechanger. Overnight, your entire world changes – it’s incredible. The ‘smaller things’ you used to worry about, suddenly don’t seem important and all you can think about is keeping these little people healthy and happy.
I have always believed that against smaller teams is when you can give others a chance to get some runs and gain some confidence.
One trend I see is the rejection of growth for self-discovery and the pursuit of authentic community. So we keep whittling our spiritual community to a smaller and smaller and more exclusive inner circle. The problem is if the diagnoses are wrong, so will be the cure.
Many dinosaurs were smaller than chickens.
As the Navy gets smaller, the world’s oceans are becoming more dangerous.
I remember being inspired myself when smaller films, whether it’s ‘Beasts’ or ‘Winter’s Bone,’ wound up in the Oscars lineup.

A violin neck is much smaller than the guitar’s, so it’s much easier to play wide intervals on one violin string. On the guitar, you really have to stretch to play them.
Younger writers and smaller writers need to live and get by. They need to be paid. It has to be fair.

U.S. officials and outside experts agree that China is undertaking a comprehensive modernization of its military. The Chinese military has gotten smaller but smarter.
I read hugely as a child, but I slowed up when the print got smaller. I am a very slow reader. I don’t know why. Maybe it is like some people chewing their food for ages and some wolfing it down.
With any body shape it’s important to buy the right size and not be dictated to by size you think you are. Try on a bigger and a smaller size in the shop and see what fits visually. If you do have to go up a size, cut the label out, it’s just a number!
Since the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing.
‘Tis very great pity that they who are so apt to over-rate themselves in smaller matters, shou’d, where it most concerns them to know, and stand upon their Value, be so insensible of their own worth.
With the advent of technology the world has surely become a smaller place.
I had neck surgery and I’m not freaking stupid. I get that my window is smaller than it was and my bump card is ticking.
Chickens from smaller producers tend to be smaller in size, and therefore have an optimal ratio of bone to meat, for a juicier fried chicken.
In our case, we focus on quality, and we have a very simple model. If we show fewer ads that are more targeted, those ads are worth more. So we’re in this strange situation where we show a smaller number of ads and we make more money because we show better ads. And that’s the secret of Google.
The higher the voice the smaller the intellect.
When I do stand-up for a long time, I’ll get burned out, then I’ll get an acting gig. For me, the grass is always greener. I’d like to do a mixture of all of it. My goal is just to do small movies that I’ve written. That’s what I’m trying to do now, just write smaller movies.
Corporate tax reform should include not just large C-corps but also smaller business S-corps and LLC pass-throughs. And nearly as important as cutting business tax rates is the need to simplify the inexplicably opaque and complex system.
I had the little Radio Shack crystal radio, and then my aunt Judy bought me a shortwave radio. It was amazing to me: like on these really clear nights – I lived in Ohio – I could get Texas or Florida. You felt like the world was a smaller place.
It’s just using my size. On the defensive end, it’s using my length to disturb the smaller guys. On the offensive end, if there’s a post-up advantage, I can take it.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a proud Republican, and I want to support my party. I am a firm believer in the Republican principles of smaller government, low taxes and economic freedom. I have spent my time in government service fighting for these principles.
