he who waits despairs

Is there any other meaning attached to the phrase?

No, just that the waiting is unbereable, is that used in English He who waits despairs or is just a litteral translation?

It's both a literal and a recognizable translation. You can say that the waiting was unbearable, and there are other ways to say the wait was too long.
