There's a saying that goes something like this:

If you go to build a mountain by carrying buckets of earth and piling them on top of one another, though you are a single bucket full short of completion when you stop, you have stopped.
But when you go to dig a trench as broad and long as the Nile, though you carry away only a handful of earth at a time, so long as you continue, you are making progress.

I feel as if I'm about to stop.
