Details are all that matters; God dwells there, and you never get to see Him if you don’t struggle to get them right. Stephen Jay Gould
Beware of the man who won’t be bothered with details. William Feather
Why can we remember the tiniest detail that has happened to us, and not remember how many times we have told it to the same person. Francois duc de La Rochefoucauld
Never neglect details. When everyone’s mind is dulled or distracted the leader must be doubly vigilant. Colin Powell
The secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life, and in elevating them to art. William Morris
Don’t sweat the small stuff…and it’s all small stuff. Richard Carlson
To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization. Harriet Beecher Stowe
Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven. Henry David Thoreau
Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another. Ernest Hemingway
Success is the sum of details. Harvey S Firestone
It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen. John Wooden
An executive cannot gradually dismiss details. Business is made up of details and I notice that the chief executive who dismisses them is quite likely to dismiss his business. Success is the sum of detail. It might perhaps be pleasing to imagine oneself beyond detail and engaged only in great things, but as I have often observed, if one attends only to great things and lets the little things pass the great things become little; that is, the business shrinks. It is not possible for an executive to hold himself aloof from anything. No business, no matter what its size, can be called safe until it has been forced to learn economy and rigidly to measure values of men and materials. Harvey S Firestone
The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail. Charles R Swindolla
