"The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth."-- Chinese Proverb.

It means do not expect miracles to happen when tough times come, and you really want them to. The truth is.they rarely do. Be practical and not a daydreamer. (Do not trust your fate to fortune cookies...oops) Face life with intelligence,wisdom, patience, prudence while going through life and it's reality. Optimism can certainly help.

Thoughts fly, water is emotion, and walking while thinking and feeling is conjoint integrated reality and realization. Ken Wilber talks about "walking the talk."
"What Is a Spiritual Master?" Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, "Kundalini West," Ann Ree Colton, and "Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet, talk to this.
Http://www.coasttocoastam.com radio has occasional guests about what is real, but probably none before your paper is due.
cordially,
j.
p.s. "Expecting Adam" by Martha Beck is an excellent example of thoughts and emotions being realized and "grounded."

Yes, it implies that it is difficult to face the reality of life. The miracles do not sustain us, and they do not happen everyday. Be practical and don't live in the world of dreams.

This quote seems to be implying that making sound choices and applying focused intent will yield greater rewards than lofty ideals and unrealistic principles.

Do not aspire to extraordinary things beyond one's ken. Rather, concentrate on living a good life on earth. That is difficult enough.

It does fit... It just means the biggest miracle is dealing with reality and taking this as they come... Well that's how I owuld interpret it...

I would think so. It would seem to me, that being alive is a miracle, maybe having an amount of gratitude for what we can do.

"Things are what they Are." from the bible. Jesus' teaching was not to judge but to invite people to reality. Powerful!
Are we not all invited to a greater reality?

The Earth is full of bipedal lemmings. Proverbs are often just blather, and this one is blather with rabbit fur.
