If I were to put it in a nutshell, I would say, the quote means "embrace patience." Yet, it is not so simple. Patience is hard to come by, especially for people like me. My patience erodes in no time, and leisurely pace doesn't work with my personality.

Yet, I love the hopeful note at the ending of the quote that says, "We will get there, someday." This means, even if progress is slow and the destination seems to be distant, we can eventually reach our goals. It gives hope and confidence in doing our deeds to reach our goals.

Then, "Rivers know this" implies the wisdom of nature, which understands the value of perseverance. Rivers take their time to erode their beds and banks by flowing constantly through them.

This is because rushing can lead to mistakes and missed opportunities. Perseverance, on the other hand, just like what rivers do, is the most profound message in reaching any goal. This is because it is a call to appreciate the journey itself and find contentment in the process rather than constantly striving for a quick result.
