Ther nis no werkman, whatsoevere he be, That may bothe werke wel and hastily.
— Haste
Ther nis no werkman, whatsoevere he be, That may bothe werke wel and hastily.
The more haste, ever the worst speed.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
My mistake has too often been that of too much haste. But it is not the people’s way to hurry, nor is it God’s way either. Hurry means worry, and worry effectually drives the peace of God from the heart.
Som thingis that prouoke young men to wed in haste, Show after weddyng, that hast maketh waste.
The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time. It is on the contrary born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life. When we do not do the one thing that we ought to do, we have no time for anything else—we are the busiest people in the world.
He who hurries through life hurries to his grave.
Quod evenit in labyrintho properantibus; ipsa illos velocitas inplicat.
Celerity is never more admiredThan by the negligent.
Nay, but make haste; the better foot before.
Stand not upon the order of your going,But go at once.
Swifter than arrow from the Tartar's bow.
He tires betimes that spurs too fast betimes;With eager feeding food doth choke the feeder.
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;Ere one can say "It lightens."
Wisely, and slow; they stumble that run fast.
Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry.
Festination may prove Precipitation;Deliberating delay may be wise cunctation.
Then horn for horn they stretch and strive;Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive.
I'll be with you in the squeezing of a lemon.
Haste is of the Devil.
Stay awhile that we may make an end the sooner.
On wings of winds came flying all abroad.
