Every big thing here had small beginnings - big births die, can't win supernatural olympics without daily training now, build brick by brick, human & divine Love both consist of little things, persevere in exact fulfillment of obligations, heroes must attach great importance to little things, many small can add up to enormous sum, moments of big cowardice come from small cowardices in each day, merit of alms is in intention given, be a little but critical bolt in Christ's plan.
