A common American idiom is ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT. This idiom reminds us that patience will be rewarded, and will help you achieve your goals. An American might say, 'Settle down and be patient, John. Remember, all good things come to those who wait.' This saying originated with the French, and has been traced back to the early 1500's. In the United States, this idiom was made popular by the poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his poem, The Student's Tale

the correct phrase is "Querer es poder" and I think that the equivalent in English is "Where there's a will there's a way"...if you really want to achieve/get something you'll find a way to do it.\nHope it helps =)

I do not know of any website as such; there are reference books you could find at any large bookstore. I have seen dictionaries of slang, of cliches, of idioms, of proverbs, of popular sayings, and so on and so forth. (Since there are quite a few sites on quotations, I'm sure that by searching you could find useful information.)

An idiom is an expression (i.e. term or phrase) whose meaning cannot be deduced from the literal definitions and the arrangement of its parts, but refers instead to a figurative meaning that is known only through conventional use. In linguistics, idioms are figures of speech that contradict the principle of compositionality.\n\nA proverb (from the Latin proverbium) is a pithy saying which gained credence through widespread or frequent use. Most proverbs express some basic truth or practical precept. A proverb which describes a basic rule of conduct may also be known as a "maxim". If a proverb is distinguished by particularly good style, it may be known as an aphorism.\n\nProverbs are often borrowed from different languages and cultures, and sometimes come down to the present through more than one language

We usually know what an idiom means, but the interesting thing is to find out why it means what it means.  For example, do you know where "frog in your throat" came from?   Medieval physicians believed that the secretions of a frog could cure a cough if they were coated on the throat of the patient. The frog was placed in the mouth of the sufferer and remained there until the physician decided that the treatment was complete.   Yuck!!\n\nThese sites give the origins of hundreds of idioms.

I haven't been able to find it in the cliche or phrase dictionaries.  I've seen it in books and usually it meant "searched exhaustively."\nAn example is "The detective really covered the waterfront, and has no further clues to pursue."
