For none can call again the passed time.”

“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)
“Those that with haste will make a mighty fire
Begin it with weak straws.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
