This is wise saying. It encourages persons in different walks of life to achieve their aims by steady work. A person can cross a mountain or can level it to the ground by patience perseverance. Taking this in a broad sense, it means that a person can overcome greates difficulties by patience and perseverance.
The beginning of any work is easy. But after some time we are faced with obstacles and difficulties. Then come setbacks. They are not failures, but weak-minded persons take them as failures. Hence they lose patience and do not make further efforts. Let us not forget that even failures are stepping stones to success. When difficulties surround us, we must be patient. We must which and see. But mere, patience is not enough; we must persevere in our efforts to achieve our aim. Perseverance is one great secret of success in life. It is the mother of good luck. Perseverance, when steadily practiced even by the most humble, will rarely fail to bring success.

Heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight;
But they while their companions slept
Where toiling upwards in the night
