NeED HELP

Read the excerpt from "Daughter of Invention".

"Maybe not. Maybe, just maybe, there's something they've missed that's important. With patience and calm, even a burro can climb a palm." This last was one of her many Dominican sayings she had imported into her scrambled English.

Which English idiom has the same meaning as the one underlined in this excerpt?

The answer is Slow and steady wins the race. The meaning of With patience and calm, even a burro can climb a palm, is that things must also come slowly. You cannot rush everything especially if you want to get successful someday. It will come one step at a time.
