“The slow blade penetrates the shield.” Frank Herbert through
Gurney Halleck (Dune)
The rock is not cleaved by the river in a day or a century. Slowly, inevitably the hardest substance must yield to the consistent flow.
Time must be your ally, and patience your strength. Let others seek the quick hits and visible wins that are forgotten over time. Carve your own mark on the landscape that will last well beyond their memory.
