Festina lente

Make haste slowly.

To do things the proper way instead of hurriedly and heedlessly; to see urgent things through in a thorough manner.
Translated from Latin to English, 'festina lente' means literally 'make haste slowly'; this translation also sounds a lot better than 'hurry slowly'.
