Festina lente (Classical Latin:[fɛsˈtiː.naːˈlɛn.teː]) or speûde bradéōs (σπεῦδε βραδέως, pronounced[spêu̯.debra.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 βραδέωςspeũde 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".
