John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

7069 Robert Browning 1812-1889 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:7069
AUTHOR:Robert Browning (1812–1889)
QUOTATION:Say not “a small event!” Why “small”?
Costs it more pain that this ye call
A “great event” should come to pass
From that? Untwine me from the mass
Of deeds which make up life, one deed
Power shall fall short in or exceed!
