The more haste, ever the worst speed.

We didn't buy this with any haste to do anything quickly.

Stay awhile that we may make an end the sooner.

Too great haste leads us to error. [Fr., Le trop de promptitude a l'erreur nous expose.]

Then horn for horn they stretch and strive; Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive.

Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty.
