Two quotations I should daily remember.

A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small parcel.
- John Ruskin, writer, art critic, watercolourist, propagandist.

You can tell the size of a man by the size of the thing that makes him mad.
- Adlai Stevenson, politician.

Regarding the second quote, does it intend to say are big men are saddened only by bigger things, or that bigger men are those that are more sensitive?
