Delphic Maxim of the Week 4/3 - Act Quickly (Πρᾶττε συντόμως)

“The fast is master of the slow. It is a fact often reflected in history, that people without any plan succeeded, simply out of the boldness of the action, when the skeptical intellectual, filled with self doubt and understanding all that could go wrong, fails. With all the advise to seek wisdom, to reflect and control yourself, you should also know when to be swift. Being overly cautious is not the way of the noble. Sometimes we must be daring, we must act. There is always a time for thinking, but that time must come to an end and lead to action. Once you know what you want to do, or what you have to do, do not delay and act quickly!”
