For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.
Step by step walk the thousand-mile road.
Nobody has the power to take two steps together; you can take only one step at a time.
For the great doesn't happen through impulse alone, and is a succession of little things that are brought together.
Great acts are made up of small deeds.
The idea of tiny changes cumulated over many steps is an immensely powerful idea, capable of explaining an enormous range of things that would be otherwise inexplicable.
Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
I have only one understanding of development and of making success, and that's by going step by step.
It's best make changes little by little, the same as you'd put clothes upon a growing child.
The course was more plodding than heroic: I did not strive valiantly against doubters but took incremental steps studded with a few intuitive leaps.
I am, a stride at a time. A very short space of time through very short time of space.
