Change in my work happens not in revolutions - it's more evolutionary.

Progress, of the best kind, is comparatively slow

Even though you try very hard, the progress you make is always little by little. It is not like going out in a shower in which you know when you get wet. In a fog, you do not know you are getting wet, but as you keep walking you get wet little by little. If your mind has ideas of progress, you may say, 'Oh, this pace is terrible!' But actually it is not. When you get wet in a fog it is very difficult to dry yourself.

Someday, some way, everything will break open, like the natural unfolding of a rosebud.

Slowly would be better than not at all.

A final victory is an accumulation of many short-term encounters. To lightly dismiss a success because it does not usher in a complete order of justice is to fail to comprehend the process of achieving full victory.

True progress is slow but sure.

Success is a fruit of slow growth.

Ultimately, every great endeavor consists of many little steps.

The tree which needs two arms to span its girth sprang from the tiniest shoot. Yon tower, nine stories high, rose from a little mound of earth. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Development comes from within. Nature does not hurry but advances slowly.

Daily ripples of excellence -over time- become a tsunami of success

Growth is always a gradual process, a bridge slowly crossed and not a corner sharply turned.
