If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing slowly ... very slowly.

Gypsy Rose Lee

If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.

Oscar Wilde

Anything worth doing well is worth doing slowly.

Gypsy Rose Lee

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

Barbara Ehrenreich

Craig Ferguson
