size matters
Scale is important
Size matters is a phrase asserting that physical dimensions are significant, not trivial.
The expression often carries sexual innuendo about male genitalia, though it applies broadly to anything where scale affects performance or value: When it comes to engine displacement, size matters.
The phrase sometimes appears ironically or as reassurance that size doesn't matter.
