Summary

This quote suggests that achieving perfection is a gradual process that cannot be rushed. It emphasizes the need for patience and the passage of time in order to reach a state of perfection. Just as it takes time for a masterpiece to be created or for skills to be honed, perfection requires a steady and gradual effort. It implies that perfection is not something that can be instantaneously achieved, but rather a result of continuous improvement and dedication over time.
