Patience Halts All Haste

It's often said that patience halts all haste: one must refrain and not taste sweetness until it's time to celebrate and go wild! Refrain from touching that hand seeking some comfort before you have sworn faithfulness, be hesitant; ignoring instincts is unwise, if acting on your own, seek advice. How can someone give tenderness without ever shown gentleness? I did that and regretted it bitterly, it's an awful thought! Many beautiful words have been used to conquer that one who rejected an advance, who falls for a quick affair swims in dangerous waters; who listens to his inner voice is seldom wrong...because patience halts all haste and offers a reward: have I rushed into anything and done awful things? Building big castles to show wealth and power to impress and lure naive people is a grievous error, humility is the gold of hearts void of excessive vanity; and while humbleness is a reflection of humility, use it whenever you are tested for your morality: if men reject it proclaiming it to be insane, it's pure imbecility!
