Do not esteem too lightly the small things of life, for the whole universe of God is made up of insignificant atoms.
Greatness, after all, in spite of its name, appears to be not so much a certain size as a certain quality in human lives. It may be present in live* whose range is very small.
We are very apt to be full of ourselves, instead of Him that made what we so much value, and but for whom we can have no reason to value ourselves ; for we have nothing that we can call our own, no, not ourselves ; for we are all but tenants, and at will, too, of the great Lord of ourselves, and the rest of this great farm, the world that we live upon.
