A Jug Fills Drop by Drop

Cup of water Spill by Islam90
Do not make light of your failings, 
Saying, "What are they to me?"
A jug fills drop by drop.
So the fool becomes brimful of folly.

Do not belittle your virtues, 
Saying, "They are nothing."
A jug fills drop by drop.
So the wise person becomes brimful of virtue.

The Dhammapada
Chapter: Mischief
