Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

The saying frames endurance as a practical force: sustained patience (the capacity to wait, absorb setbacks, and keep perspective) combined with perseverance (continued effort over time) can make daunting problems seem to “disappear.” The “magical effect” is rhetorical rather than literal—an emphasis on how long-term steadiness changes outcomes by outlasting resistance, accumulating small gains, and preventing discouragement from becoming defeat. It also suggests a moral psychology: obstacles often persist because people quit too early, act rashly, or lose heart; disciplined persistence alters both external circumstances and one’s internal capacity to meet them.
