Re: how do you say that in english?

"Gut Ding will Weile haben" is a german "Volksweisheit", something like "farmer's wisdom". The german "Ding" means "thing, something, Object" and not what it means in English! The word by word translation would be "Good things need time to maturate/ripen/age".

The intention is like: "Rome wasn't built in a day".

LOL, but your German is almost as good as my Spanglish.
Ein bisschen Spaß muss sein :)
