The tender root can cleave the hard rock; steady toil will accomplish its end; there is no task so hard but patience will overcome it. A rope will cut a stone by long rubbing against it; by practice one can learn to digest poison. Tuka says, Where can a place be found to sit? You will find one, O child, in the heart of Him who is supreme God.
