Somebody famous said" a journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step"

Open the door take the step....I don't plan (it drives others mad) i have a vague idea ill go uuuummmmmm thata way...turn back when i have had enough

Just googled it

Ahh its Chinese might have guessed.

Although this is the popular form of this quotation, a more correct translation from the original Chinese would be "The journey of a thousand miles begins beneath one's feet." Rather than emphasizing the first step, Lau Tzu regarded action as something that arises naturally from stillness. Another potential phrasing would be "Even the longest journey must begin where you stand."
