He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure, must have made foes. If you have none, small is the work that you have done.

The Lord is pleased with every effort, even the tiny, daily ones in which we strive to be more like Him.

He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

Smallness in a great man seems smaller by its disproportion with all the rest.

The work of the Lord is done by ordinary people who work in an extraordinary way.

Every adult, whether he is a follower or a leader, a member of a mass or of an elite, was once a child. He was once small. A sense of smallness forms a substratum in his mind, ineradicably. His triumphs will be measured against this smallness; his defeats will substantiate it.

There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

Always in all my books I'm trying to reveal or help to reveal the hidden greatness of the small, of the little, of the unknown - and the pettiness of the big.
