| gen. |
if at first you do not succeed, try, try, try again; if at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again; it is dogged that does it; learn to walk before you run; rome was not built in a day; rome wasn't built in a day; all things are difficult before they are easy; constant dripping wears away the stone; constant dropping wears away the stone; constant dropping will wear away a stone; little by little and bit by bit; little strokes fell great oaks; practice makes perfect; slow but sure wins the race; slowly but surely |
