    Yes, however I tend to think that saying refers to the times when we want something now, but for some reason have to wait for it. So that saying should also be, "Good things come to those who can wait... Sometimes we shouldn't wait, but should go out and get it, whatever it is!!!!!!!

    I believe this is a saying that harkens back to something called "the beatitudes", you know, in the bible? "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth, etc..." Luke 5-7, it's also known as the "Sermon on the Mount".

    there's a distinction between procrastination and endurance. Procrastinating is averting accountability....while endurance is waiting for the main marvelous 2nd to stay as much because it. sturdy issues do no longer continually come to those that wait. even though it does look extra like a blessing if there's a substantive era of 'badness' first IMHO.

    Usually, but if you wait too long, it might turn out for the worst in your situation. And, what do you mean? Is this question reflecting on if you are waiting for someone, or waiting for something else? Tell us so we can answer more efficiently.

    Yes. Like fine wine. When things age they increase in value and taste. When you finally reach what may be the pinnacle of your wait the real journey begins.

    Not always~

    for instance if you decide to be the nice person at a party and wait for the cake you'll probably get either no cake or a little crappy piece~

    Send me your address. I'm old and I'm slow but I will eventually get there. When I do, you can then tell me if good things come to those who wait. ;>)
