Proverbs, aphorisms, quotations (English) by Linux fortune

Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time.  So long
as there is a regular progression of stimuli to get your mental hooks
into, there is room for lateral movement.  Once this begins, its rate is
a matter of discretion.
                -- Corwin, Prince of Amber
The better part of valor is discretion.
                -- William Shakespeare, "Henry IV"
Normally our rules are rigid; we tend to discretion, if for no other reason
than self-protection.  We never recommend any of our graduates, although we
cheerfully provide information as to those who have failed their courses.
                -- Jack Vance, "Freitzke's Turn"
At times discretion should be thrown aside,
and with the foolish we should play the fool.
                -- Menander
