Just listening to a commentary on Bhagavadgeetha by Vidyaprakasandagiri swamy. In a context, he mentions the following quote (author unknown) :
"A great man is not the one who does extraordinary things, but who does ordinary things in an extraordinary way...!"
I remember a similar quote from Mother Theresa : "We need not do great things but little things with great love".
