Someone in the course of history said "All good things must come to an end." I know this because a lot of people repeat the quote. Supposedly it's an old English proverb originally going back to Chaucer in the late 1300's as "All things come to an end," or "Everything has an end," and then the "good" part was added hundreds of years later. Whateva...
What I don't know is where this notion comes from. Why must all good things come to an end (save for the end that would occur during an Armaggedon situation or some other unanticipated destruction of the Earth, in which it's not "all good things" but "all Earthly things, Earth included")?
I don't buy it. You can take your quote, Mr. or Mrs. Adder of the Good, and wipe your rear with it.

I believe it was the great William of Nelson that said "turn out the lights, the party's over, they say that all, good things must end...".
I think that's where the quote comes from.
