"As in the case of making a mound, if, before the very last basketful, I stop, then I shall have stopped. As in the case of leveling the ground, if, though tipping only one basketful, I am going forward, then I shall be making progress."

~ Confucius, 6th century bce Chinese sage and founder of Confucianism from The Analects

That is beautiful.

Keep on moving. One basketful at a time…
