Little drops of water, little grains of sand,

Make the mighty ocean, and the pleasant land.

So the little minutes, humble though they be,

Make the mighty ages of eternity.

JULIA CARNEY, Little Things

Little deeds of kindness, little words of love,

Help to make earth happy, like the heaven above.

Think gently of the erring:

Oh! do not thou forget,

However darkly stained by sin

He is thy brother yet.
