“When have I been hasty or unwary who have waited and prepared for so many long years?”
–Aragorn, Son of Arathorn; Heir of Elendil and rightful king of Gondor // Lord of the Rings
It was Treebeard, the oldest living thing in middle earth that said “Let’s not be hasty!” It was his motto. And Ellesar (i.e. Aragorn) who strode around with great strides who patiently awaited the day when he could come into his own.
Today, we have lost the blood of the men of Númenor, and we go about in a great hurry. Are we patient in waiting upon the Lord? The Bible is full of the examples and teachings of waiting upon the Lord.

The LORD takes delight in his faithful followers, and in those who wait for his loyal love. (Psa 147:11)
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. (Psa 37:7)
