There is a moment of conception and a moment of birth, but between them there is a long period of gestation.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Creating something valuable takes time and nurturing before it comes to fruition.
Jonas Salk's quote emphasizes the importance of the process that occurs between the initial idea and its realization. Just as a baby takes time in the womb before birth, ideas and projects require a period of development and care to mature before they can be successfully manifested into the world. This reflects the patience and dedication necessary to see dreams and aspirations come to life.

It's a Little Leaguers game that major leaguers play extraordinarily well, a game that excites us throughout adulthood. The crack of the bat and the scent of the horsehide on leather bring back our own memories that have been washed away with the sweat and tears of summers long gone...even as the setting sun pushes the shadows past home plate.
