About This Quote
The secret to all great accomplishment is to not finish what you have started. Sometimes, when we have a great idea, we get so enthused that we want to finish it immediately. However, if we do this, we often leave behind lots of beautiful pieces of dreams and intentions never fully assembled. By letting the unfinished quilts go, all of our character is stretched out in directions that are far greater than what it would have been had we finished everything at once.
