Quote by Epictetus
Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig. I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the idea that great achievements or creations require time and patience to come to fruition. Just like grapes or figs, which take time to grow from blossoming to ripening, any significant endeavor cannot be hastily and spontaneously achieved. The quote reminds us that we should be willing to invest time and effort in our pursuits, trusting that consistent progress will lead to eventual success.
