"...A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct..."
Manual of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan – "Dune", Frank Herbert
It is also in the Tao ( 道 - とう - みち):
Practice no-action;
Attend to do-nothing;
Taste the flavorless,
Magnify the small,
Multiply the few,
Return love for hate.
Deal with the difficult while it is yet easy;
Deal with the great while it is yet small;
The difficult develops naturally from the easy,
And the great from the small;
So the sage, by dealing with the small,
Achieves the great.
Who finds it easy to promise finds it hard to be trusted;
Who takes things lightly finds things difficult;
The sage recognizes difficulty, and so has none.
Chapter LXIII , Tao Te Chinge – Lao-tzu
