There are times when obeying laws or rules challenges human dignity, human rights, and what is morally, legally, and ethically right to do. So obey little means choose which part, if any, of what you will obey-- you may be able to obey little of it. Resist much is another way to say, even if you must obey, you can still resist immoral or unethical laws and rules. The Civil Rights movement gives many examples of obey little, resist much.
This phrase means that it is easier to comply with small requests or rules rather than resisting them and facing potentially greater consequences. By obeying smaller things, you can avoid more significant challenges or conflicts in the long run. It suggests focusing on what is manageable to prevent larger issues.
