MEANINGS AND EXPLANATIONS: It is customary that travelers in a great hurry are loath to go via the slow but sure donkey. For them, a horse, used to galloping at terrific speeds for sustained periods seems a more logical choice. However, the donkey, although much slower, eventually gets to its journey's end. Similarly, we must exercise great patience in order to reach our goals.
Slow but consistent progress will eventually lead to success.

"Slow and steady wins the race."
