There is an old saying in hindi "boond boond se Banta sagar" which means "drops by drops make an ocean. Eaxh drop counts which is pretty much suits while saving money, it also stood correct when comes to ammassing wealth. While we save money every penny matters similarly all the knowledge, understanding and experince comes to humans one by one.
There is an saying sanskrit too, which states the same.
जलबिन्दुनिपातेन क्रमशः पूर्यते घटः|
स हेतुः सर्वविद्यानां धर्मस्य च धनस्य च||
Jalabindunipaatena kramashah pooryate ghatah.
Sa hetuh sarvavidyaanaam dharm asya cha dhanasya cha.
Jalabindu = drops of water.
Nipaatena = by falling of.
Kramashah = gradually.
Pooryate = gets filled.
Ghatah = an earthen pitcher for storing water.
Sa = it, that.
Hetu = cause, manner.
Sarva = all .
Vidyaanaam = various disciplines of learning.
Dharmasya = Religious austerity.
Dhanasya = of the wealth.
It means "Just as small drops of water falling inside an earthen pitcher gradually fill it up to the brim,in the same manner various disciplines of learning, Religious austerity and wealth are also acquired gradually."
Nothing can be achieved quickly. All the name,fame, respect in society are earned gradually. So we need to keep patience to get to the level, which we want to achieve.
