Note from asker:
What do you think of of our colleague's translation? I'm asking you because I don't rely on peer agreements, unfortunately. Prov. If you work slowly but constantly, you will succeed better than if you work fast for a short while and do not continue. https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-samsung-rev2&source=android-browser&q=Slow+and+steady+wins+the+race |
Thank you for your translation and reply. I was actually searching for an idiom as I indicated in my question. I wish I could choose your answer, too but unfortunately the website that doesn't provide this choice |
