Festina Lente (Hurry in slowly)

Elizabeth Kostova

Lente, lente currite, noctis equi. Translation: Run slowly, slowly, horses of the night.

Ovid

I am most peremptorily of opinion against putting children extremely forward. If they desire it themselves, I would not balk them, for I love to attend to these unsophisticated indications. But otherwise, 'festina lente' is my maxim in education.

William Godwin

Fish slowly and thoroughly. Haste never pays dividends. Don't whip the stream to a froth. Make fewer cast, make them to places which count an fish each cast out instead of lifting it prematurely

Ray Bergman

Journalism encourages haste ... and haste is the enemy of art.

Jeanette Winterson

No one writes as slowly as I do, I'm convinced. It's so hard for me. I learn slowly; I make decisions at a snail's pace.

Virginia Euwer Wolff

Something like 'Psycho,' which is this psychological thing that slowly, slowly, slowly builds, and actually it's a much more powerful reaction you have when it assumes that you're intelligent as you're watching it. I want them to make me believe that whatever's happening could really happen, and then it becomes much more frightening.

Arthur Slade

When your dawn theater sounds to clear your sinuses: don't delay. Jump. Those voices may be gone before you hit the shower to align your wits. Speed is everything. The 90-mph dash to your machine is a sure cure for life rampant and death most real. Make haste to live. Oh, God, yes. Live. And write. With great haste.

Ray Bradbury

Fish slowly and thoroughly. Haste never paid dividends. Never wory about the fellow ahead of you. If you start racing to get ahaead of him, he'll probably try to beat you, and from then on it will be nothing but a foot-race instead of a contemplative and inspiring recreation.

Ray Bergman

Bodies are slow of growth, but are rapid in their dissolution. [Lat., Corpora lente augescent, cito extinguuntur.]

Tacitus

Make haste cautiously.

Augustus

Books are slow. They require time; they are written slowly, published slowly, and read slowly.

Lewis Buzbee

My desire is to make what haste I can to be gone.

Oliver Cromwell

Never make a promise in haste.

Mahatma Gandhi

One must always practice slowly. If you learn something slowly, you forget it slowly.

Itzhak Perlman

I think the two things most opposed to good counsel are haste and passion; haste usaully goes hand in hand with folly, passion with coarseness and narrowness of mind.

Thucydides
