Better is the end of a matter than its beginning

The important thing is how the matter turned out. What matters most is the "bottom line." The final outcome is more important. Or: a good thing is already apparent at its beginning.

("Better is the end of a matter than its beginning; better is patience of spirit than haughtiness of spirit" - Ecclesiastes 7:8)
