Thus grief still treads upon the heels of pleasure;
Married in haste, we may repent at leisure.
--

Marry in Haste, and Repent at Leisure ;
It's good to marry late, or never.Thomas (writer) Fuller
Manuscript: something submitted in haste and returned at leisure.
Oliver Herford
Because in the end those kind of conservative tea-leaf-reading focus group driven polling types who I think led Kim into nothingness, he's got his life to repent in leisure now at what they did to him.
Paul Keating
No blessed leisure for love or hope,
But only time for grief.Thomas Hood
Youth is ever apt to judge in haste,
And lose the medium in the wild extreme,
Do not repent, but regulate your passion:
Though love is reason, its excess is rage.
Give me, at least, your promise to reflect,
In cool, impartial solitude, and still.
No last decision till we meet again.Aaron Hill
