Wisdom No. 34: Things are accomplished with patience, and hasty things end badly.
حکمت شماره ۳۴: کارها به صبر بر آید و مستعجل به سر در آید.
Matters are achieved through patience, and the hasty one comes to grief.
کارها به صبر بر آید و مُستَعجِل به سر در آید.
With my own eyes I saw in the desert
That the slow one overtook the hasty one.
به چشمِ خویش دیدم در بیابان
که آهسته سَبَق بُرد از شتابان
The swift steed was left behind from running,
While the camel driver continued to drive slowly.
سمندِ بادپای از تک فرو ماند
شتربان همچنان آهسته میراند
