"Some men never feel small; but these are the few men who are." -G. K. Chesterton


This quote appears in A Miscellany of Men, a collection of articles and essays written by Chesterton for publication in the Daily News. The eminently quotable English author wrote for two newspapers at the time (the other was The Speaker), which accounts for his immense literary output over the course of his life. "Don't say that the idea of human equality is absurd, because some men are tall and some short, some clever and some stupid," mused Chesterton. "There is no man really clever who has not found that he is stupid. There is no big man who has not felt small."

"We spend our lives fighting to get people very slightly more stupid than ourselves to accept truths that the great men have always known." -Doris Lessing


Doris Lessing won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007, making her the oldest person to ever receive the honor (Lessing was also only the 11th woman in over 100 years to be awarded the prize). The Golden Notebook, from which this quote comes, is perhaps her most famous work. In the narrative, the line continues: "You and I are the boulder-pushers. All our lives, you and I, we'll put all our energies, all our talents into pushing a great boulder up a mountain. The boulder is the truth that the great men know by instinct, and the mountain is the stupidity of mankind."

"A bachelor is a man who comes to work each morning from a different direction." -Sholem Aleichem


Born Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich, Aleichem chose his pen name when he wrote a Jewish version of Robinson Crusoe at the age of 15; the name comes from the phrase shalom aleikhem ("peace be with you"). Aleichem is probably best known for his Tevye the Milkman stories, which were eventually adapted into the musical Fiddler on the Roof; he also wrote short fiction, a dozen plays, children's stories and an almanac. Aleichem was popular in the U.S., where the media dubbed him the "Jewish Mark Twain." To this, Twain responded: "Please tell him that I am the American Sholem Aleichem."

"An idealist believes the short run doesn't count. A cynic believes the long run doesn't matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run." -Sydney J. Harris


Sidney Harris was a journalist for the Chicago Daily News and the Chicago Sun-Times. He wrote several columns over his 30-year career in the newspaper industry, including "Strictly Personal" and "Thoughts at Large" (the latter of which is the source of this quote). After a lecture Harris gave in the 1970s, he took questions from the audience, and one woman asked him what he did if he woke up one morning and couldn't think of a subject or didn't feel like writing a column. "Madam," he answered, "I write a column."
