Success Happy

What is the source of the William James quote, "I am done with great things and big plans..."?

Here's the complete quote: I am done with great things and big plans, great institutions and big success. I am for those tiny, invisible, loving, human forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, which, if given time, will rend the hardest monuments of pride. Where is this from originally? A book, an essay, a letter?
