Daily Quiet Virtues Better Than Great Deeds

ONE Niagara is enough for the continent or the world, while the same world requires thousands and tens of thousands of silver fountains, and gently flowing rivulets, that water every farm and meadow and every garden, and that shall flow on every night with their gentle, quiet beauty. So with the acts of our lives. It is not by great deeds, like those of the martyrs, that good is to be done; it is by the daily and quiet virtues of life, the Christian temper, the good qualities of relatives and friends, and all, that it is to be done.—Albert Barnes.
