Constant dripping wears away the stone.
The lesson to be learnt is summed up in the last two words of this quotation from Ovid: 'What is harder than rock, or softer than water? Yet soft water hollows out hard rock. Only persevere.
Similar proverbs:
If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.
It's dogged that does it.
Little by little and bit by bit.
Little strokes fell great oaks.
Rome was not built in a day.
Slow but sure wins the race.
Where there's a will there's a way.
