Quote

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

All things will be clear and distinct to the man who does not hurry; haste is blind and improvident.

Unreasonable haste is the direct road to error.

At times it is folly to hasten at other times, to delay. The wise do everything in its proper time.

Hasten slowly.

The haste of a fool is the slowest thing in the world.

Haste is of the Devil.

There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience.

Pace, like everything else in writing, involves a trade-off. If you're not offering the reader a lot of action to keep her interested, you must offer something else in its stead. Slow pace is ideal for complex character development, detailed description, and nuances of style.

When you hurry you're more apt to make mistakes. But you have to be quick. If you're not quick you can't get things done.
