Smaller Works

Famous quotes containing the words smaller and/or works:

    “Among the smaller duties of life I hardly know any one more important than that of not praising where praise is not due.”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    “Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus’ example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man’s spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.”
    —Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
