There is actually several quotes expressing the same idea in different Terry Pratchett’s book. Everyone of them much better than what I could remember. I dug these two ones:
In Wyrd Sisters you have (Granny Weatherwas speaking): “The reward you get for digging holes is a bigger shovel.”
And another one from “Carpe Jugulum” that I like even better (also Granny Weatherwax speaking): “The reward for toil had been more toil. If you dug the best ditches, they gave you a bigger shovel.”
Remind’s me of this one from Terry Pratchett:
“All you get if you are good at digging holes it’s a bigger shovel.”
Shouldn’t that be: “All you get if you are good at digging holes is a bigger shovel.”?
Thanks for fixing my broken english.
