Victor Wåhlstrand Skärström Excellent, I love this one: Gutta cavat lapidem non bis, sed saepe cadendo; sic homo fit sapiens non bis, sed saepe legendo.
Arief Wibowo [gutta] [cavat] [lapidem] is not [bis], but [saepe] [cadendo]; just as human thinking is not [bis], but [saepe] legend
Kevin Long gutta cavat lapidem 'not twice', 'but' saepe cadendo; 'as man becomes smart, not twice', sed saepe legendo
Maleen Schlüter a drop caves/hollows out the stone, if it doesn't fall twice but often. a man becomes smart, if he doesn't read twice but often.?
Arief Wibowo Integrating Kevin Long's guess and a bit more guess:
[gutta] [cavat] [lapidem] isn't only twice, but more than twice [cadendo]; just as human become smart isn't only twice, but more than twice in legends
[gutta] [cavat] [lapidem] isn't only twice, but more than twice [cadendo]; just as human become smart isn't only twice, but more than twice in legends
Arief Wibowo [gutta] [cavat] [lapidem] isn't only twice, but often [cadendo]; just as human become smart isn't only twice, but often in legends
Arief Wibowo [gutta] cave (as verb or noun?) [lapidem] isn't only twice, but often [cadendo]; just as human become smart isn't only twice, but often in legends
Kevin Long I use my polymerisation spell on Maleen Schlüter and Arief Wibowo to produce the guess:
A drop hollows out the stone, by not falling twice but often. As man becomes smart, by not reading twice but often.
A drop hollows out the stone, by not falling twice but often. As man becomes smart, by not reading twice but often.
Christian James Meredith I'm guessing the basic meaning is that gradual bits of small effort equate to large progress rather than short bursts.
But Kevin Long ninja'd me so bugger that

Victor Wåhlstrand Skärström Maleen, The wording was a bit off, but right on the whole. Although I think Kevin got it this time.
