What is big?

Famous quotes containing the word big:

    It is not only a question of who is responsible for very young children. There is no longer anyone home to care for adolescents and the elderly. There is no one around to take in the car for repair or to let the plumber in. Working families are faced with daily dilemmas: Who will take care of a sick child? Who will go to the big soccer game? Who will attend the teacher conference?
    Fran Sussner Rodgers (20th century)

    Whoever is in a hurry, shows that the thing he is about is too big for him.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Holly: Oh, Brad, I’d do my act in clown alley or the horse stop for you. I’d do anything if it was just for you.
    Brad: Pigeon, look. Out under the sky you know how I feel about you. But under the Big Top one performer’s just like another to me.
    Fredric M. Frank (1911–1977)
