About This Quote

The quote is often used in response to someone’s complaint about having to wait an awful long time for something. We are all familiar with the concept of time being spread out over a day, a week, or even a month. The idea is that things will always take time, but in eternity they won’t. This can work as a motivator for people who complain about having to wait for something that they really want or need.
