What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things.
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things.
It's only a drop in the ocean - but the ocean wouldn't be the same without that drop.
The ocean is made of drops.
We realize that what we are accomplishing is a drop in the ocean. But if this drop were not in the ocean, it would be missed.
Prayer in action is love, and love in action is service. Try to give unconditionally whatever a person needs in the moment. The point is to do something, however small, and show you care through your actions by giving your time ... Do not worry about why problems exist in the world - just respond to people's needs ... We feel what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, but that ocean would be less without that drop.
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
I never add up. I only subtract from the total dying... . . . It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
We can not do great things. We can only do little things with great love.
We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love.
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
One must really have suffered oneself to help others.
