’冰封三尺，非一日之寒’英文即係咩呀？

樓上的 Rome was not built in one day是很好的, 意思是 "凡事非一日之功".
但 "羅馬"這一句多用於正面的情況, 形容長時間的努力, 終於帶來偉大的的結果. "冰封"那一句, 常用於反面的情況, 形容長時期的不協調, 終演變成惡意的敵視.
TRY:
Nothing comes from nothing. / Nothing can come of nothing.
(意: 事出必有因)
在網上找來的意譯
Ice of 3 feet is not the result of one cold day.

冰凍三尺，非一日之寒
冰封三尺，非一日之寒
英文可寫作: Rome is not built in one day
