To be continually advancing in the paths of knowledge is one of the
most pleasing satisfactions of the human mind. These are pleasures
perfect consistent with every degree of advanced years.

--Cicero.

Fidelity in small things is at the base of every great achievement.
We too often forget this and yet no truth needs more to be kept in
mind particularly in the troubled eras of history and in the crises
of individual life. In shipwreck a splintered beam, an oar, any
scrap of wreckage saves us. To despise the remnants is
demoralization.

--Charles Wagner.

He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much and he
that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.
