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

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

Haste is of the Devil.

Hasten slowly.

Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.

Unreasonable haste is the direct road to error.

'In Praise of Slowness' chronicles the global trend towards deceleration that has come to be known as the Slow Movement. Don't worry, though: it is not a Luddite rant. I love speed. Going fast can be fun, liberating and productive. The problem is that our hunger for speed, for cramming more and more into less and less time, has gone too far.

The march of the human mind is slow.

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

I think that we give the impression, to carry on your metaphor, that we go a little faster than we actually do. I'm fairly lazy so I'm always interested in slowing down.
