  As they say, don't sweat the small stuff—let's move forward without worrying about minor mistakes.

expression

pay attention to the details; read the fine print

Proverb emphasizing that small things can be crucial, especially before a big endeavor. This sense is less common and sometimes considered a misinterpretation of the original meaning.

• 大だい事じの前まえの小しょう事じとも言いうから、契けい約やく書しょの細こまかい字じもしっかり読よんだほうがいい。

  They also say 'read the fine print,' so you'd better read the small print in the contract carefully.
