What does this Shakespeare quote from "Romeo and Juliet" mean?:"Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast."

Question

Can you give me a reasonable answer to this quotation, please?

Answer 1

i think that it means when you are too hasty about things you will most likely stumble but when you take your time you are more likely to succeed a little like the tortuous and the hare.

Answer 2

Let's take the quote backward. "They stumble that run fast". It's a metaphor. And what it means is that the person who acts too quickly without thinking something through carefully is not likely to gain his objective. On the other hand, the person who goes at a project "wisely and slow" is the person who thinks things through and works with carefulness in trying to accomplish his objective. The thrust of the quote is that this is the person who will accomplish what he sets out do.

Answer 3

The friar is saying that Romeo and Juliet should not rush thier relationship because when you rush things, you will overlook something and it may not end up the way you anticipate

Answer 4

If you rush things, you mess up. A wise person thinks it through, and takes his time. aka, a stitch in time saves nine.

Answer 5

Modern translation: "The hurrieder I go, the behinder I get." Seriously though: "Take your time; if you rush, you'll make mistakes."
