   “steidzies lēnam!” dziļa doma ir šajā tautas gudrībā; tā māca netūļāties, nevilcināties, taču arī nestrēbt karstu; māca ātrumu sabalansēt ar pamatīgumu, rūpīgumu ― “hurry slowly!” (there) is deep thinking in this folk wisdom; it teaches not to linger, not to hesitate, but also not to gulp down what is too hot; it teaches to balance speed with thoroughness, carefulness, precision
