About this quote

This traditional saying reminds us that worthwhile rewards require patience and care. If you want a good outcome, you must respect the source and process that produces it. It encourages tolerance for life's small annoyances and delays, reminding us that rushing or demanding immediate results often destroys the very thing we hope to gain.

This is a traditional folk proverb from Italy, rooted in rural agricultural life. Passed down through generations of oral history, it reflects practical agrarian wisdom rather than the work of a single named author.

This print suits a kitchen or dining space as a gentle reminder to practise patience during daily routines.
