Take your time, there is no hurry.
(In other words, if you take your time in doing something, you have less chance of messing up whatever it is you are doing, or having an accident etc)

I have just looked up "haste" in the dictionary and it means "hurry". People say "more haste less speed" when they think speed is a hindrance to what they are doing and they need to be more careful or the speed will be detrimental to the task, ie slow down or you wont get the job done.

Isn't it Less Haste More Speed? It's a metaphor and It literally means that if you take your time making sure to cover all the bases you will eventually get their quicker as you don't have to go back to sort out problems that occurred cause you weren't being careful.

Well,you see,more haste means faster and less speed means slower,so this whole thing is saying that the faster you go,the slower you go.Hope this helps.

Don't do things so quickly you get them wrong - speed
Do things right, first time and things will be done faster - haste

That is like "Haste makes waste". If you hurry, you don't get anywhere cause you mess up.

I think it is in reference to the fact that if you are going to fast , your hands cannot keep up with your brains speed and utimately you do nothing but make a mess.
concentrate and work quickly and effectively.
