all things come to those who wait

If are patient, you will have what you desire: Remember that all things come to those who wait, and don't be disappointed if you miss promotion this time. First recorded in 1530 with different wording, the proverb occurs in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Tales of a Wayside Inn (1863): "All things come to him who will but wait."

Variant of this proverb: all good things come to those who wait; everything comes to those who wait.
