        It's English, dating from at least the c16th and famously used in Hamlet: "Let Hercules himself do what he may, the cat will mew and dog will have his day." Every dog/person will have their moment of strength and power.

        It's more so referee to tough situations, that any situation has its ending times. And example is the situation in Uganda, the government time has come to an end

        Regardless of your socioeconomic status, everyone at some point, will have a great moment of praise or an opportunity for revenge.
