Quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

The riders in a race do not stop when they reach the goal. There is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill. There is time to hear the kind voices of friends and say to oneself, The work is done.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of not losing momentum and fully embracing the journey even after achieving a goal. Just like riders in a race, we should continue moving forward, not abruptly stopping at the finish line but rather gracefully slowing down and reflecting on our accomplishments. This moment of slowing down allows us to appreciate the support and companionship of friends, and to savor the satisfaction of a job well done. It reminds us that the journey is as significant as the destination.
