This is a nice thing to keep in mind (often forgotten):

Statistical significance means only that the pattern of distribution and relationship between variables which is found in the data from a sample can be confidently generalized to the larger populattion from which the sample was randomly drawn. By itself, it does not ensure that the relationship is theoretically or practically important or even very large.
