Don't rush through life; it's about the journey.
No te apresures a través de la vida, es sobre el viaje.

Nelson offers a more Spanish way of saying this:
Nelson ofrece una manera más española de decir esto:

Do not hurry along your life, everything is in the journey.
No te apures a lo largo de tu vida, todo está en el viaje.

Gracias, Nelson.

The popular line "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread" was first written by Alexander Pope.

El verso popular 'Los tontos acometen en donde los ángeles temen pisar." fue escrito por primera vez por Alexander Pope.

enter image description here

No Place so Sacred from such Fops is barr'd, Nor is Paul's Church more safe than Paul's Church-yard: Nay, fly to Altars; there they'll talk you dead; For fools rush in where angels fear to tread. - Alexander Pope

En los sesentas había un apuro para aterrizar un hombre en la luna, pero por los setentas no le importó a nadie.

In the sixties there was a rush to land a man on the moon, but by the seventies it didn't matter to anyone.

You cannot rush into a relationship. Love takes time.

No puedes precipitarse en una relación. El amor toma tiempo.

Hay un cuadro famoso de 1955 por un pintor australiano que mostraba la hora punta en la ciudad . Todo estaba muy triste y convencional.

  • Rushing is not a good ally. It makes us act before we think carefully. And, it is usually followed by regret.

So, don't rush.

  • La prisa no es una buena aliada. Nos hace actuar antes que pensemos cuidadosamente. Y, usualmente, es seguida por el arrepentimiento.

Entonces, no te apresures.
