Famous quotes containing the word haste:

    All things will be clear and distinct to the man who does not hurry; haste is blind and improvident.
    Titus Livius (Livy)

    And haste ye find these traitors again;
    For she’s be burnt and he’s be slain,
    The wearifu’ gaberlunzie man.’

    So haste not,
    bright meteor;
    waste not strength,
    O fair planet,
    singing-sister.
