Small things

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common - this is my symphony."

~William Henry Channing~

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

~Helen Keller~

Smaller than my little finger nail and yet feisty as a lion. He certainly made me take a quick step backwards. What a beautiful creature.
