I wonder if "From small beginnings come great things" is a natural English proverb.

I looked it up and found there are some results. However, I don't know if it's a proverb translated from other languages but unnatural in English or perhaps it's an English proverb.
 
It works in English- there are alternatives, but this one hits the spot.
 
It works but I wouldn't say it's an English proverb. I've never heard it. We use "Great oaks from little acorns grow", which means the same.
 
In my neck of the woods it's "Mighty oaks from little acorns grow."
