Toynbee, Arnold

That's what building a body of work is all about. It's about the daily labor, the many individual acts, the choices large and small that add up over time, over a lifetime to a lasting legacy.

It deepens and expands with each day you give your best. You may have setbacks and you may have failures, but you're not done. You haven't even started.

Barack Obama
