“Festina ad festinum, sed FESTINA LENTE !” "picture a proverb" "smile on saturday"
"festina lente "
Festina lente (Classical Latin: [fɛsˈtiː.naː ˈlɛn.teː]) or speûde bradéōs (σπεῦδε βραδέως, pronounced [spêu̯.de bra.dé.ɔːs]) is a classical adage and oxymoron meaning "make haste slowly" (sometimes rendered in English as "more haste, less speed"[1]). It has been adopted as a motto numerous times, particularly by the emperors Augustus and Titus, then later by the Medicis and the Onslows.
The original form of the saying, σπεῦδε βραδέως speũde bradéōs, is Classical Greek, of which festina lente is the Latin translation. The words σπεῦδε and festina are second-person-singular present active imperatives, meaning "make haste", while βραδέως and lente are adverbs, meaning "slowly".
Balance between impulse and reason: To succeed, it is not enough to have energy and determination (impulse); you also need the ability to analyze and plan (reason). Festina lente reflects this balance between the force to act and the necessity to reflect beforehand.
Patience in the face of temptation: It can be interpreted as an encouragement not to be overwhelmed by the desire to rush things, whether it is in career, love, or everyday pleasures.
