Not what we have, but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.- John Petit-Senn, 1792 - 1870

It is only by fidelity in little things that the grace of
true love to God can be sustained, and distinguished from a
passing fervor of spirit...No one can well believe that our piety is sincere, when our behavior is lax and irregular in its little details. What probability is there that we should not hesitate to make the
greatest sacrifices, when we shrink from the smallest?-Francois Fenelon (1651-1715), Selections from Fenelon, ed. Mary Wilder Tileston, Boston: Roberts Bros., 1879, p. 160
