I would translate it literally: Drop by drop it becomes a lake (or a lake is made).

OK - I googled it, and it's all over the internet, but apparently it is British, and neither I nor my Canadian boyfriend had ever heard it.

If the requester wants something that will be universally understood by all English speakers, this one will not work.

mickle
(also muckle) archaic or Scottish & N. English

• noun a large amount.

• adjective very large.

— PHRASES many a little makes a mickle (also many a mickle makes a muckle) many small amounts accumulate to make a large amount.

— ORIGIN Old English.

— USAGE The forms mickle and muckle are merely variants of the same (now dialect) word meaning ‘a large amount’. However, the alternative form of the proverb (originally a misquotation) has led to a misunderstanding that mickle means ‘a small amount’.

Where is it used?

How about "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"?

I've found it here, there is written, that's scottish...
Could I help?

In my old dictionary, I've got the word "MICKLE", it is an adjective which means "beaucoup de" and it is writen : "(see MUCH)"

OK, OK. I guess I'm not making myself clear. I believe you guys that this phrase exists someplace. I'm just saying that nobody in North America ever heard of a "mickle", so if the requester wants this phrase understood by people in North America, it would be better to translate it literally.

How about "Many drops make an ocean"?

Sounds good to me. I'm going to change it.
