The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.

Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But of every one that is hasty only to want.

The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.

Careful planning puts you ahead in the long run; hurry and scurry puts you further behind.

The plans of the diligent certainly lead to advantage, But everyone who is in a hurry certainly comes to poverty.

The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance and advantage, But everyone who acts in haste comes surely to poverty.

The plans of the diligent lead only to plenty, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.
