【绳锯木断】〖shéng jù mù duàn〗[Little strokes fell great oaks; cut a wood with a rope; A constant feeble effort may bring a remarkable success]

绳先启后著诗典，

锯角龙头寡头铲。

木干鸟栖志千里，

断齑画粥穷益坚。

用绳当锯子，也能把木头锯断。比喻力量虽小，只要坚持下去，事情就能成功。Using rope as a saw can also cut wood. Metaphor power is small, as long as stick to it, things can succeed. 同：持之以恒、锲而不舍。反：虎头蛇尾、有头无尾。
