Understanding this quote
The quote sets a restrained, realistic outlook. “Not waiting for a miracle” means no extraordinary rescue or sudden solution is expected. Calling the expectations “modest” reinforces that the hoped-for result is limited rather than dramatic. Together, the two sentences express readiness to accept a small or ordinary outcome instead of counting on something exceptional.
