It means that if you are patient and calm, your enemy will eventually destroy himself, either by his own hand, by the hand of someone else or simply through the passing of time. The proverb also suggests that by patient and careful planning over a long period you may be able to overcome an enemy who has grown proud and careless. Either way, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are still here, while he fades in defeat.
