Slowness is frequently the cause of much greater slowness.

Baron de Montesquieu

The true way to gain much, is never to desire to gain too much. He is not rich that possesses much, but he that covets no more; and he is not poor that enjoys little, but he that wants too much.

Francis Beaumont

In a globalised world, so many of us move around so much. You lose things, but you also gain things - or hope to gain them.

Claire Messud

Men fear to lose as much as they hope to gain.

Drayton Bird

Never have the nations of the world had so much to lose, or so much to gain. Together we shall save our planet, or together we shall perish in its flames.

John F. Kennedy

Let us be ashamed of our slowness in thanking God when He gives, and of our quickness in grumbling at Him when He takes away.

Nikolaj Velimirovic

Wise wretch! with pleasures too refined to please, With too much spirit to be e'er at ease, With too much quickness ever to be taught, With too much thinking to have common thought: You purchase pain with all that joy can give, And die of nothing but a rage to live.

Alexander Pope

With too much quickness ever to be taught; With too much thinking to have common thought.

Alexander Pope

Most of our lives are dictated by money and when we lose or gain some, we change so much as an individual.

M. S. Narayana

How much more proof does anyone need to see to know that there is more to GAIN from loving each other and being good to all people -- than from hating and envying each other? When we continue to hate, we continue to LOSE. When we amplify mutual respect and LOVE, we have a lot to gain! Quite simply, there is more to gain through love than hate.

I gave myself permission to care, because there are a lot of people in this world who are afraid of caring, or afraid of showing that they care because it's uncool. It's uncool to have passion. It's so much easier to lose when you've shown everyone how much you don't care if you win or lose. It's much harder to lose when you show that you care, but, you'll never win, unless you also stand to lose. Don't be afraid of your passion.

Tom Hiddleston

No," I said finally. "Slowness in Answering," she said into the handheld. "When's the last time you slept?" "1940" I said promptly, which is the problem with Quickness in Answering.
