Accuracy

A wise man sees as much as he ought, not as much as he can

Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything

If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend six hours sharpening my ax

Quality is not an act, it is a habit

Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.

Tradition is an important help to history, but its statements should be carefully scrutinized before we rely on them

The power of doing anything with quickness is always prized much by the possessor, and often without any attention to the imperfection of the performance.

One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well

Interest makes some people blind, and others quick-sighted

Look twice before you leap

I would think the extra pair of eyes, extra pair of ears would maybe deter someone who may have decided to try something

A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty.

Our misery is that we thirst so little for these sublime things, and so much for the mocking trifles of time and space
