It appears in the Wisdom of Yoga and refers to
Teachers
In any journey it is helpful to have a guide, someone who can help us in times of difficulty. Often, we do not venture forth due to fear. A good guide, a teacher, quells our fear and gives us confidence during our journey. An old Indian adage says: "When the student is ready, the teacher appears."

The origin of this quotation is not clear but it is one of the cornerstones of Buddhist teaching. Maybe it was the great Gautama himself. Exponents of meditational Yoga also use this quote to say in effect "Don't run before you can walk"

It's a Taoist quote, Bruce Lee probably liked it though.

It is an ancient Buddhist adage and has no primary source work it apears in--it was just passed down orally and is an anonymous saying.
