Constant dropping wears away stones; and by diligence and patience the mouse ate in two the cable; and little strokes fell great oaks.
滴水能穿石;凭勤勉与耐心,老鼠咬断了缆绳;一次次小小的砍击,终能伐倒大橡树。
— Benjamin Franklin · The Way to Wealth (1758) · Section I —
Constant dropping wears away stones; and by diligence and patience the mouse ate in two the cable; and little strokes fell great oaks.
滴水能穿石;凭勤勉与耐心,老鼠咬断了缆绳;一次次小小的砍击,终能伐倒大橡树。
