If you think you’re too small to make a difference, you’ve obviously never been in bed with a mosquito.

Cf. Insetos em inglês

To make a difference

To have an effect on somebody or change a situation.

To make all the difference

To have an important effect on somebody or something; to make somebody feel better.

  • A few kind words and a hug make all the difference to somebody who is sad.

Cf. Vocabulário: Abraço

Same difference

Used informally as a conventionalized, frozen response to what you regard as a petty, irrelevant correction. This fixed expression is a kind of verbal shrug and a sign of indifference or mild annoyance. It really means – ‘It’s the same thing – no difference.’

  • A: What’s that?
  • B: It’s a gerbil.
  • A: It looks more like a hamster to me.
  • B: Same difference.

With exactly the same meaning you can also say, Whatever.

Cf. Mais Frases Célebres
