Good things come to those who wait.
Patience is expected to be rewarded in due course.
What They Mean
Do not rush. Remain calm, and the desired outcome will arrive on its own schedule.

What They Left Out
Good things also come to those who go and get them, often before those who waited have finished waiting.
