How do you say thin in Spainish. Here's an example of turn of phrase in context: Things look bad today, but things may change for the better in the long run.

I know you can use en el futuro , but is there a dicho?

"A la larga"

Las cosas se ven mal ahora, pero a la larga mejorarán. :)

I was going to say "a largo plazo", but it's already in Rusty's
Las cosas van mal ahora, pero a largo plazo mejoraran
Las cosa van mal ahora, pero mejorarán en un futuro.
Las cosas van mal ahora, pero a la larga mejorarán.
Saludos :D

There's this one: "ya con el tiempo".

Ya con el tiempo, las cosas mejorarán.
