Take time for deliberation. Haste spoils everything.
Give not reins to your inflamed passions: take time and a little delay; impetuosity manages all things badly.
What the morrow's years might bring 'twas sin for man to know.
It is an honourable thing to be merciful to the vanquished.
Fear first made gods in the world.
Allow time and moderate delay; haste manages all things badly.
