From Little to Great
James 3:5-6
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!…


As the smallest spark will, if duly fanned, kindle a vast pyre, so is the least element of virtue capable of growth till the whole nature of the man glows with a new warmth and brightness.

(Philo.)
