Bilbo says that he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all," What this means is that he is fine with being small in a big world, because you don't have to be big and strong to be brave and powerful. This is a great life philosophy for him because, he lives in a world where there are many dangers. Being little helps him hide and sneak away. It also doesn't help him in many ways. He's not strong enough to fight off a group of ogres, but he's smart enough to persuade them to leave him alone.
I wouldn't want to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all," because I need to be big to survive in the world that I live in. Even though there are no goblins, ogres, or dragons in the world we live in, doesn't mean that you don't need protection. You also don't want to be too big, because then you might not live a healthy and normal life. So, in other words, I disagree and agree with Bilbo when he says that he is "pleased to be only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."
