Give time and permit a short delay, impetuosity ruins everything.
Virtue may be cheerful without forgetting its dignity.
Allow time and moderate delay; haste 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.
Give not reins to your inflamed passions: take time and a little delay; impetuosity manages all things badly.
