Correct quote and origin?

[DWSmith]

I heard it on one of Sean James Cameron's videos but I doubt he's the originator of the quote.

What is the correct quote for something like, "Do a little and do it often."?

And what is the source for the quote?

And if you have the context that would be a bonus.

Thanks!

I don't think it's a quote as such, just a bit of advice given to new gardeners so they don't injure themselves. So it is safer to do 1 hour per day for a week than 7 hours in one stretch.

I always heard 'keep the hoe moving' but with no knowledge where it was first spoken.

I don't know if he is the originator of the quote - but, Charles Dowding has used it in his books.
Long before the habitual plagiarist and subscriber rip off merchant Sean James Cameron ever used it.

There's one by Hesiod -
If you should put even a little on a little, and should do this often, soon this too would become big.
Variant translation: If thou shouldst lay up even a little upon a little, and shouldst do this often, soon would even this become great.

Don't hold back Kevin. Go ahead and tell us how you really feel.

Seriously, this is why I asked. I doubted he would have come up with it. Thanks!
