Can you please help me to explain this sentence: " We regularly do the impossible, miracles take a little longer."
  

Top answer

It's a hyperbole, something that is grossly exaggerated. To do the impossible or make miracles implies that "we" are wonderful, exceptional, perfect. It is not to be taken literally, of course.
