Common Life in an Uncommon Manner

Study not to appear singular, but to be truly so. We become so by leading a common life, but not in an uncommon manner. One must do what is required very exactly, that is, in the place, manner, and the time prescribed. We must do for God common things in the most perfect manner. Not to be singular in the exterior, to be so interiorly, this is a great virtue, a treasure.

-- St. Bernard
