This means it´s never too late if the purpose of the action is a good one.
In ENGLISH?

"good fortune is worth waiting for.", or better, perhaps: "all good things
come to those who wait.".

Used in contexts like:
I´m 40, I know I´m old to learn English but it´s never too late if the fortune is good
Any ideas?

Any ideas?This is strange: my dictionary says
nunca es tarde si la dicha es buena means better late than never
but I don't think that this can be correct. I think the Spanish means It is never too late if the circumstances are right, but better late than never means something completely different.
Anybody? :thinking:

It means mejor tarde que nunca, que tampoco es que este muy desencaminado, pero no es lo más exacto.
