“Great souls pay much attention to little things” Escriva.
“How you do anything is how you do everything” Rohr
“The little things are the big things” unknown
If these maxims are supposed to hold for all types of temperaments and personalities then it must be about more than being a detail oriented person.
I think the underlying virtue here is having the humility to surrender oneself fully to the present moment and not skip over the present details. It is also a kind of reverence before the Divine presence that leads one to truly care for the little things and not to try and control the whole agenda, or be the judge.
1cor13: “Love is patient, love is kind….” and does not cut corners!
