Famous quotes containing the word haste:
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When I meet a government which says to me, “Your money or your life,” why should I be in haste to give it my money?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“All things will be clear and distinct to the man who does not hurry; haste is blind and improvident.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
