A truer measure

A truer measure of its character and values

The ordinary attainment of the common days is a truer index of the life, a truer measure of its character and values — than are the most striking and brilliant things of life's exalted moments.

It requires more strength to be faithful in the ninety-nine commonplace duties , when no one is looking on, when there is no special motive to stir the soul to its best effort — than it does in the one duty, which by its unusual importance, or by its conspicuousness, arouses enthusiasm for its own doing.
