The growth of trees and plants takes place so slowly that it is not easily seen. Daily we notice little change. But, in course of time, we see that a great change has taken place.

There is the work of great men and there is the work of little men. Therefore it is said, 'Some labor with their minds and some labor with their strength.

This is a universal principle.
