It is appalling to see Kentucky lawmakers work so hastily on dangerous legislation that will only put young LGBTQ Kentuckians in harm’s way, in the last year, nearly half of LGBTQ youth in Kentucky seriously considered suicide – alarmingly, nearly 1 in 4 transgender and nonbinary youth in the state made a suicide attempt. Our leaders are pushing political wedge issues and sidestepping the real challenges like addressing the youth mental health crisis. – Troy Stevenson	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Indeed who would be prosecuted or fined should over 500 be killed in the next two years ? No doubt if over 500 were killed in a year then those responsible would claim they did not realize that the pod was so big until it was driven into the shallows and the dolphins killed, this new' quota' is meaningless for dolphins in the long run and has only hastily been announced as a thinly-veiled attempt to deceive both politicians and the press in the face of continued outrage over the killing of dolphins in the Faroe Islands. – Lukas Erichsen	Found on CNN 1 year ago
At that time, and without more context on the origin or intent of the posters, I responded hastily to the student, writing that I, too, was concerned.

Every member of the GW community should feel welcome and supported, but I should have taken more time to understand the entire situation before commenting, i have since learned from our university’s scholars that the posters were designed by a Chinese-Australian artist, Badiucao, and they are a critique of China’s policies. Upon full understanding, I do not view these posters as racist ; they are political statements. – Mr Wrighton	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
This series of reforms that were done. That we said you know, we support but that were done hastily, and done without the input of law enforcement, and we're dealing with it still today, that's got to be the number one issue there's no doubt because it's, as I just said, it's the city that we all love so much. And to see it pulled down in many ways is, is really hard to watch. – Dermot Shea	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Because of the battlefield, they had little choices in terms of where to bury them, they had to bury them hastily, after the battle, we know that [the British] spent the night in Ridgefield - that gave them the time to strip the bodies and bury them. – Connecticut State Archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
This is someone who was trained to protect the national sovereignty, not someone who handles migrants. And these are the worries in forming a National Guard so hastily, you can't expect that from one day to the next, a soldier that is trained to protect the territory against enemies of the state will now be responsible for people that are trying to cross illegally into the country. These are very different missions and this is reflected in the images and what the commander says. – Ana Maria Salazar	Found on CNN 4 years ago
It is the very backbone of wisdom not to trust too hastily. – Proverb	added by anonymous 4 years ago
I am dismayed thatThe New Yorkerhas decided to characterize a respectful relationship with a woman I dated as somehow inappropriate, i am sorry to my friends, workplace colleagues, and loved ones for any embarrassment this episode may cause.

We must, therefore, separate the facts from potentially hastily-made conclusions and opinions, the Board of Inquiry (BOI) should have allowed the facts to speak for themselves.

Do nothing hastily but catching of fleas. – Thomas Fuller	added by anonymous 9 years ago
The wise man, knowing how to enjoy achieved results without having constantly to replace them with others, finds in them an attachment to life in the hour of difficulty. But the man who has always pinned all his hopes on the future and lived with his eyes fixed upon it, has nothing in the past as a comfort against the present's afflictions, for the past was nothing to him but a series of hastily experienced stages. What blinded him to himself was his expectation always to find further on the happiness he had so far missed. Now he is stopped in his tracks; from now on nothing remains behind or ahead of him to fix his gaze upon. – Émile Durkheim	added by anonymous 10 years ago
Henry glanced hastily at the mirror. Yes, he did look rather old. He must have overdone some of the lines on his forehead. He looked something between a youngish centenarian and a nonagenarian who had seen a good deal of trouble. – P. G. Wodehouse	added by anonymous 10 years ago
Seven things characterise the wise man, and seven the blockhead. The wise man speaks not before those who are his superiors, either in age or wisdom. He interrupts not others in the midst of their discourse. He replies not hastily. His questions are relevant to the subject, his answers, to the purpose. In delivering his sentiments he taketh the first in order first, the last, last. What he understands not he says, ?I understand not.? He acknowledges his error, and is open to conviction. The reverse of all this characterises the blockhead. – The Talmud	added by anonymous 12 years ago
Life is made up of constant calls to action, and we seldom have time for more than hastily contrived answers. – Learned Hand	added by anonymous 13 years ago
Nothing can be done at once hastily and prudently. – Publilius Syrus	added by anonymous 14 years ago
Whatever is produced in haste goes hastily to waste. – Saadi	added by anonymous 14 years ago
