These two cases contain all the medicines necessary to run a division hospital; the case of emergency instruments does not weigh above ten or twelve pounds, and would not be a burden for a child to carry. It is therefore difficult for the small-minded officer of the line to see why the Medical Department was unable to have these medicines up at the front.
The Prime Minister of Australia, William Morris Hughes, a small-minded, insensitive, violent man, directed a furious campaign in favour of a huge indemnity. Lord Northcliffe lent the aid of his numerous papers to this campaign, which stirred up the electors. Lloyd George, with his admirable intelligence, perceived the situation clearly.
Of course, he isn't in the Native Department, properly speaking, but he has done a lot of work with them for some time." "And what do you think he is down here for now?"

"The world is no good!" he said. "Everything in it is so stupid."
His heart was better than his head, as is the case with all small-minded souls that have come into conscious contact with God, but his opinions ruled his official conduct. "I am afraid you have been drinking, Toyner," he said reproachfully.
He may be a heavy-eyed sensualist, a small-minded leader of fashion, a rival to his servants in the gay science of etiquette, a frequenter of race-courses and music-halls, a literary or scientific quack, a devotee, an amateur anything the point is that his income and sustenance have no relation whatever to his activities.

To small-minded statesmen it seemed that the situation called for conquest.
