How little a thing can make us happy when we feel that we have earned it.

It’s good knowing that the efforts put in are being appreciated and recognised.

For every sacrifice, there's a reward.

Everything has its sacrifices, but some things are worth taking the leap for.

Our patron has always sort of danced upon the notion that austerity and piety go hand in hand; down here, we show our appreciation for things by appreciating, if you get me.

In the little affairs of human life, whether social or national, I have found that courtesies, kindness, and small attentions are often received with more grateful feelings than those of a more substantial character. We often appreciate more the picayunes than the double eagles, in the currency of social and human life.

Sometimes, we just have to be happy with what people can offer us. Even if it's not what we want, at least it's something.

Little things comfort us because little things distress us.

Sometimes chivalry is just nice,

There’s nothing like a little slavery to make a man appreciate even a modest portion of freedom.

I make a point to appreciate all the little things in my life. I go out and smell the air after a good, hard rain. I re-read passages from my favorite books. I hold the little treasures that somebody special gave me. These small actions help remind me that there are so many great, glorious pieces of good in the world.

Being thankful for the little blessings goes a long way.

Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the gratefully and appreciating heart.

Savor the little victories as much as you criticize the little mistakes.
