It is certain that he himself planted some Giant Exaggerations and had a good yield. His exaggeration was deliberate. "Walden" is from first to last a most delightful sample of his talent. He belittles everything that goes on in the world outside his bean-field.
"My dear child, I've been married to her more than seventeen years, and I'm not a fool. You've seen for yourself how she takes things. How she belittles everything with her everlasting laugh, laugh, laugh. In time it gets on your nerves." "It would," said Barbara, "if you don't see the fun of it." "You can't expect me to see the fun of my own funeral." "Funeral? Is it as bad as all that?"
So, conversely, Shakespeare belittles Casar in order to suit the purpose of his play. Which of Shakespeare's male characters can be measured beside George Washington? There is not one of them, unless Kent in "King Lear." Strong, resolute natures, like Washington, Hamilton, Sumner, are not adapted to dramatic fiction, either in prose or in verse.
Strict construction affords a short and easy way of avoiding troublesome issues always involved in unforeseen national developments by substituting the question of constitutional power for a question of public propriety. But this method has the disadvantage, that it belittles the Constitution by making it an obstacle to progress.
He meant to ask Pop about Skeeter, though Pop seemed confident that Smoky would win against anything in the valley. But on the other hand, he had seen in his short acquaintance with Little Lost that Pop was considered childish that comprehensive accusation which belittles the wisdom of age. The boys made it a point to humor him without taking him seriously.
There is really no objection to this the terror of the surplus is a sort of nightmare in the country except that it destroys the simplicity of the festival, and belittles small offerings that have their chief value in affection. And it points inevitably to the creation of a sort of Christmas "Trust" the modern escape out of ruinous competition.
No one belittles the importance of success. Everyone is guided to a large extent by the desire to succeed. When a child toddles off to school the training which he secures there is given for the single purpose of bringing success, but this goal cannot possibly be reached without throbbing vitality. In fact, you are not yourself in every sense unless you possess vitality of this sort.
It was never more than 39 years old as stated in the same address, and he belittles the American Cabin John Bridge by making its span "after all only 215 ft." As the builder of this greatest American stone arch, I regret that on so important and public an occasion the writer was not accurate. The clear span of Cabin John Bridge is 220 ft.

Think of being abandoned by the Church! that August Power in whose hands is lodged the fate of the human race; whose scepter stretches beyond the furthest constellation that twinkles in the sky; whose authority is over millions that live and over the billions that wait trembling in purgatory for ransom or doom; whose smile opens the gates of heaven to you, whose frown delivers you to the fires of everlasting hell; a Power whose dominion overshadows and belittles the pomps and shows of a village.
