Slow and steady wins the race.
Samos, Greece
A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.
Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own.
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
Our patience will achieve more than our force.
He that can have patience can have what he will.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
