The Motive of Good Works

By Taber

HOLINESS depends less on what we do than on how we do it. The important thing in good works is the amount of love which we put in them. The soul of an action is its motive. The power of an action is neither in its size nor in its duration, but in its intention. An intention is pure in proportion as it is loving. What we want is not many actions, but a great momentum in few actions.—Taber.
