About This Quote
The quote "On every level of life, from housework to heights of prayer, in all judgement and effort to get things done, hurry and impatience are sure marks of the amateur" is a very insightful quote. When you slow down and take a minute to think about what you are doing, you realize that you need to do things right. In fact there have been many times when I have been rushing around won't get anything done. I have been impatient and will not wait for things to be how they should be.
You should never hurry or be impatient when it comes to any kind of task. Do it properly the first time instead of rushing around to get everything done in a rush.
