încetul cu încetul se face agurida miere / se face oţetul prov.

time and straw make medlars ripe

patience and time make all things chime

little streams make great rivers

little strokes fell great oaks

many a little / many a pickle makes a mickle

many a mickle makes a muckle

aprox. every little makes a mickle

easy does it

learn to say before you sing

little and often fill the purse

take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves

more haste less speed
