    I think that that's an ancient chinese proverb that's not attributed to either of them.

    Oh I love Lao Tzu quotes...Start looking and they are everywhere. This one means everything starts somewhere. All long journeys, big accomplishments, huge projects- you start with one step. The quote reminds to think small sometimes, for that is where everything begins. Don't discount that some journeys are slow, step by step processes. too often we all want immediate gratification, immediate satisfaction, and are not willing to get in there and start working, slowly and methodically towards the goal.
