The greatest changes
in the world are made slowly and gradually, not with eruptions and revolutions.
The same things
happen in one’s spiritual life.
All great thoughts are living thoughts, and they can grow
and be changed. And they change and grow as a tree, and not as a cloud.
—John Ruskin
All really great
things are happening in slow and inconspicuous ways.
The process of life should be the birth of a soul. This is
the highest alchemy, and this justifies our presence on earth. This is our
calling and our virtue.
—Henri Amiel
Our life is unceasing wonder, growth, and development.
—Lucy Malory
There is nothing
more harmful for your inner perfection than the understanding that you are doing
well. The way to happiness, the way to real moral improvement, moves so
invisibly, so inconspicuously, that a person can see his successes only after
great, lengthy periods of time.
If you think that
you are moving toward perfection and you notice this, then you should know that
you are mistaken, that you have stopped and are moving backward.
