From a talk given by Shunryu Suzuki on 1966-11-09 [1]:
| "In this world we live by constant effort. Even though gains are small, the act of sincerely trying to improve little by little is salvation ..." |
... as in Arnold Bennett's comment (1908, The Human Machine), about how Human Nature is only improved "... by the continual infinitesimal efforts, upon themselves, of individual men, like you and me ...".
