On Impatience

“A hasty man never is a wise man.” (1025.694)

“It is wonderful how amiable we all are until we are irritated.” (1736.463)

“We are all impatient as long as we are imperfect. It is the mark of the child that he is in a violent hurry where men are steady.” (1756.703)

“We are some of us too much in a hurry to go fast. If we were a little slower, we should be quicker.” (2183.22)
