Quote by John Heywood
And once their hasty heat a little controlled, Than perceive they well, hot love soon cold. And when hasty witless mirth is mated well, Good to be merry and wise, they think and feel.
Summary
This quote suggests that when passion and desire are acted upon hastily, they tend to diminish quickly. Similarly, when reckless and thoughtless fun is balanced with wisdom, people realize that it is better to be both joyful and wise. It implies that impulsivity in emotions and actions often leads to regret, whereas finding a balance between spontaneity and prudence results in both happiness and sensible decision-making.
