Be peaceful and joyous—consecrate the simplest duties of every day—fill your life with earnest endeavour and perfect trust—and no matter how narrow and painful it may seem to you, when it is ended you will look back with wonder at the influence for good your quiet example and cheerful spirit have been and realise also that you have won no small victory—while in failing to reach your possibilities you injure others. Remember—there is no legacy like the example of a holy life.
—Katherine B. Caine, Light on the Hidden Way, 1886, Ticknor and Company, Boston, 35
