Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains

Summary

This quote suggests that people often overlook or struggle with small and insignificant obstacles rather than substantial challenges. It emphasizes how individuals tend to focus too much on minor issues, which can easily trip them up, while neglecting larger problems that require more attention and effort. Therefore, it reminds us to prioritize and address important matters rather than getting entangled in trivial matters that can hinder our progress or success.
