You who are letting miserable misunderstandings run on from year to year, meaning to clear them up someday; you who are keeping wretched quarrels alive because you cannot quite make up your mind that now is the day to sacrifice your pride and kill them

It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you.
