Showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. — Titus 2:10

If on our daily course our mind
Be set to hallow all we find,
New treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
—J. KEBLE

If content and thankfulness, if the patient bearing of evil, be duties to God, they are the duties of every day, and in every circumstance of our life. If we are to follow Christ, it must be in our common way of spending every day.
—WM. LAW.

He who is faithful over a few things is a lord of cities. It does not matter whether you preach in Westminster Abbey, or teach a ragged class, so you be faithful. The faithfulness is all.
—G. MACDONALD.

I would have you invoke God often through the day, asking Him to kindle a love for your vocation within you, and saying with St. Paul, “’Lord, what wouldst Thou have me to do?’ Wouldst Thou have me serve Thee in the lowest ministries of Thy house? too happy if I may but serve Thee anyhow.” And when any special thing is repugnant to you, ask “Wouldst Thou have me do it? Then, unworthy though I be, I will do it gladly.”
—ST. FRANCIS DE SALES.
