I take it you mean that they were impatient.  Coincidentally, I've 
just written bio sketches of both for an LOTR website.  

Feanor definitely didn't have much truck with hanging around and 
waiting. Maeglin seemed more prepared to play a long game in my 
opinion. Of course long games are a moot point when you're immortal.

This weeks bios were Fingon, the two I've just mentioned, Hurin which 
I'm about to post and Morgoth to go, which should keep me out of the 
pub for the next week.

Morgoth doesn't really bother about patience either - he's one of 
these people who just goes for what he wants when he wants it 
really...

Big Silmarillion fan, and possibly even bigger Morgoth fan.
