I’ve heard that plenty of times in my life. Without googling, do you know the other half of the phrase? I can’t believe I just learned this yesterday, as I’ve never heard it before.

Bad things come to those who rush.

I'm still waiting.

Sometimes the luster wears off instant gratification, like the shiny new car you bought and then realize there are 7 years of payments before you actually own it.

Are the fish biting?

“All hoped-for things will come to you
Who have the strength to watch and wait,
Our longings spur the steeds of Fate,
This has been said by one who knew.

‘Ah, all things come to those who wait,’
(I say these words to make me glad),
But something answers soft and sad,
‘They come, but often come too late.”


A poem by Lady Mary Montgomerie Currie, writing under her pseudonym,
Violet Fane. It was used in her poem ‘Tout vient a qui sait attendre.’

“Good things come to those who wait… but only the things left behind by those who hustle.”

I’ve been waiting 35 years. How much longer?

Good things have happened, but usually as the result of hard work.
