The Quick One Is Better Than The Cautious

The Quick One Is Better Than The Cautious

By analogy: Sometimes a swift action is preferable to excessive caution that causes slowness.

("A wise man is a wise man who knows how to warn at the hour of an action that will not transgress the commandment. A wise man who sees the newborn and corrects himself so that he will not come near to such a thing. And we are told in the Book of the Law (Daf 20:) "Warning brings near to haste" - Rashi Chulin 17b)
