Two persons who do not part with kisses should part with haste

Christmas itself may be called into question, If carried so far it creates indigestion.

Nothing is more vulgar than haste.

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.
