Quote by William Penn

Hasty resolutions are of the nature of vows, and to be equally avoided.

Hasty resolutions are of the nature of vows, and to be equal

Summary

This quote suggests that making quick decisions or judgments can be likened to making vows, which should be approached with caution. Hasty resolutions lack thoughtful consideration and can lead to regrettable outcomes. Just as vows should not be made without careful consideration, the same principle should be followed when making decisions. It emphasizes the importance of taking time to reflect and analyze before making any long-term commitments or decisions that may have consequences.
