TODAY'S IDIOM: MORE HASTE, LESS SPEED

"MORE HASTE, LESS SPEED"

 

 

Act quickly, but not so quickly that you make careless mistakes.

Examples: More haste, less speed. I suggest you go back.

Vísteme despacio que tengo prisa.

Example sentences:

• Why are you throwing your clothes around the room? You told me to get my things packed in a hurry. Yes, but more haste, less speed / ¿Porqué tiras tu ropa en la habitación? Tú me dijiste que empacara mis cosas rápido. Si, pero vísteme despacio que tengo prisa.

• My mum always says "More haste, less speed". She is my pedant in chief so I take this version to be the one / Mi madre siempre dice "Vísteme despacio que tengo prisa". Ella es mi sabelotodo en jefe así que tomo esta versión para ser la número uno.

Additional examples:

• We'll have to spend an hour cleaning up the mess you make. I know you want to finish that sweater by Joe's birthday, but you're knitting so fast that you make mistakes. More haste, less speed.

• There are limits to the number of problems that can be solved by legislation alone, and I think that the first package is evidence of more haste, less speed.
