CHAPTER XVIII.
The Master said, 'The prosecution of learning may
be compared to what may happen in raising a mound. If there want but one basket
of earth to complete the work, and I stop, the stopping is my own work. It may
be compared to throwing down the earth on the level ground. Though but one
basketful is thrown at a time, the advancing with it is my own going
forward.'
