What does the proverb haste makes waste mean?

BoyDevil21 Answered Last
This Aphorism means that if you try to do something quickly, without planning it, you're likely to end up spending more time,
money
, etc, doing it.It means that if you hurry through something, you do a poor or sloppy job and end up having to do it over, which wastes even more time than if you had just done it properly in the beginning.haste is overly quick, so this proverb basically means that if we rush to do something, chances are it won't turn out as good as it will if we actually think about what we are doing and think about the consequencesIf you're too fast, you'll overlook things, or you'll be too sloppy with it.This proverb was said by benjamin franklin and it means when you do something in hurry you are never going to do it properly

Animals that live on the land, Birds that fly in the sky, Fish that live in the sea, All these things that please the eye.

Also, the San Francisco Chronicle once printed an article that cast doubt on the Twain attribution. Can you figure out who created this joke? Also, was the remark originally about SF or some other locale? Quote Investigator : There is no evidence in the papers and speeches of Mark Twain that he ever made this remark about San Franc...
