“The easy way is the hard way, and the hard way is the easy way.”
My brother-in-law quoted that to me a few weeks ago, the point being (for him) that it’s better to do things well than quickly. He didn’t remember who said it, though.
Online sources – unmpeachable fonts of wisdom, I know – cite either the Dalai Lama or “it’s a proverb.”
Anyone know who first said it and when?
