Everything hath an end, and a pudding hath two.

Meaning and lesson

All things eventually come to a close. The first half offers a broad reminder that even a long or difficult experience will not last forever.

The pudding adds a playful turn: unlike an event, it has two physical ends. That literal detail makes the reminder sound lighthearted rather than solemn.

When it is used

Use it to mark an ending or to encourage patience when something feels drawn out. Its comic second half suits a lighthearted exchange better than a grave farewell.
