Haste makes waste

This proverb means that if you try to do things too quickly, you are more likely to make mistakes or overlook important details, which can ultimately lead to wasting time, money, or resources. It is often used to encourage people to take their time and be thorough in their work. Rushing or doing things too quickly often leads to mistakes and wasted effort, time, or resources.

The phrase warns against rushing tasks or making decisions too quickly.


The idea that haste is counterproductive originated in antiquity and is first seen in print in the apocryphal Book of Wisdom, c. 190 BCE: “There is one that toilet and laboureth, and maketh haste, and is so much the more behind.” 
One of Benjamin Franklin's most notable quotes reads: "Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste."
