“Surround yourselves, O people, gird up yourselves with little works of good— with a chain of little, simple, easy and good feelings which cost us naught, a chain of bright thoughts, words and deeds. Let us abandon the big and the difficult. That is for them that love it and not for us, for whom the Lord in His Mercy for us who have not yet learned to love the greater, has poured forth the lesser love everywhere, free as water and air.”

(St John of San Francisco, Orthodox Heritage Vol 1)
