133. Consider the Future Long Tamezo Yamazawa heard the following from Oyasama around 1883: "If you think the future is short, you must hurry. However, if you think the future is long, you need not hurry. "Haste will not result in being early. Slowness will not result in being late. "Tanno is true sincerity."
