Even dust if piled can become a mountain in Japanese is 塵も積もれば山となる which is read chiri mo tsumoreba yama to naru

The Japanese proverb “Even dust if piled can become a mountain” reminds us that little things add up to big things. That, for example, many small efforts can combine to make one great success.

There is another way to look at this proverb. Another popular translation is “Great oaks from little acorns grow”. The Japanese, obviously, has nothing to do with acorns and oaks. But the similarity is that “even dust can become a mountain”. That regardless of what we start as, we can become something great.
