Haste Quotations
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
Benjamin Franklin

Manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.
Henry David Thoreau

Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Henry David Thoreau

To suffer the penalty of too much haste, which is too little speed.
Plato

Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.
Soren Kierkegaard

Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
Henri Frederic Amiel

Whenever a man makes haste, God too hastens with him.
Aeschylus

Lord Byron

Too great haste to repay an obligation is a kind of ingratitude.
