Results are often obtained by impetuosity and daring which could never have been obtained by ordinary methods.
Give time and permit a short delay, impetuosity ruins everything.
A perpetual conflict with natural desires seems to be the lot of our present state. In youth we require something of the tardiness and frigidity of age; and in age we must labour to recall the fire and impetuosity of youth; in youth we must learn to respect, and in age to enjoy.
