The quiet forces that have the greatest effect
In all departments of life, it is the quiet forces that have the greatest effect .
The sunbeams fall all day long, silently, unheard by human ear — yet there is in them a wondrous energy and a great power for blessing and good.
Gravitation is a silent force, with no rattle of machinery, no noise of engines, no clanking of chains — and yet it holds all the stars and worlds in their orbits, and swings them through space with unvarying precision.
The dew falls silently at night when men sleep, and yet it touches every plant and leaf and flower with new life and beauty.
It is in the lightning, not in the thunder-peal, that the electric energy resides.
Thus even in nature, strength lies in quietness, and the mightiest energies work noiselessly.
