Anything can be accomplished.

Explanation:

This idiom means that anything is possible. The means for it to be possible, according to 'her' was patience. A burro is a donkey, so the idea of a donkey in a palm tree is ridiculous.

Nonetheless, the image of a donkey climbing a palm tree with only willpower and patience definitely makes the point that where there is a will there is a way. This would be the equivalent saying in English and has exactly the same meaning.
