About this quote

This phrase expresses the belief that persistent effort and dedication can overcome any obstacle, no matter how daunting. It suggests that talent or circumstance alone are not enough to achieve lasting success; rather, continuous labour drives human progress. The core idea is that focused, unwavering work eventually triumphs over difficult challenges, turning hardship into accomplishment.

The phrase originates from Book I of Virgil's Georgics, a poem about agriculture written around 30 BC. Originally part of a longer sentence about human struggle, the adapted Latin motto became a popular modern maxim for industriousness.
