Nothing surely is as potent as a law that may not be disobeyed. It has the force of the water drop that hollows the stone. A small dainty task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules. - Anthony Trollope

A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules. - Anthony Trollope
