Mother TeresaBe faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
About This Quote
The quality of a person’s character emerges from his actions in small situations. It is in the small things that we become aware of the true nature of the people we interact with. A person is not defined by his or her greatest moments, but by the small and unimportant actions and gestures that he or she makes in daily life. Therefore, we should be faithful in small things because it is in them that our strength lies.
