A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

If you don’t accumulate steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles

If you don’t accumulate small streams, you can’t become a river

When learning opera, don’t learn the voice first; when making iron, make nails first

When building a wall, lay the foundation first; when eating eggs, raise chickens first

Don’t be afraid of the height of the building, as long as the foundation is strong

The deeper the foundation, the higher the wall you build
