That'll end a bout of procrastination! smile

In looking up which work it came from, I found that the source seems elusive, causing some to wonder whether the attribution to Goethe may be an oft-repeated error? Or possibly it was from a personal letter, not a published work?

Still, it is a great quote.

It reminds me of this bit of verse:
"Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, closing lines from "A Psalm of Life"

And also:
"Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can."
- Arthur Ashe
