Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things. George Carlin
I've found men are less likely to let petty things annoy them. Marilyn Monroe
Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself. Richard M. Nixon
The petty man is eager to make boasts, yet desires that others should believe in him. He enthusiastically engages in deception, yet wants others to have affection for him. He conducts himself like an animal, yet wants others to think well of him. Xun Zi
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. Aesop
