ठैर ठैर के चालिये, जब हो दूर पड़ाव 
डूब जात अधियाव में, दौड़ चलती नाव 

Thair Thair ke chaliye, Jab ho door Padaav 
Doob jaat Adhiyaav mein, Daud chalti naav 

Meaning: When the road is long and the destination is far, one must rest often. The boat that races to the other end of the river forgets that the middle of the river is deep and needs a different kind of maneuvering, so it is very likely to drown. 

Usage: बेटा, अभी तो नयी दुकान खोली है, अभी कुछ महीने इसी पर ध्यान दो. ठैर ठैर के चालिये, जब हो दूर पड़ाव। 


Another saying that has the same message is - जल्दी का काम शैतान का. (Jaldi ka kaam Shaitan ka).
Meaning: Only the devil acts in a hurry. 

माता मित्रं पिता चेति स्वभाववात्त्रितयम् हितं 
कार्यकारणतश्चान्ये भवन्ति हितबुद्धये  
Mata Mitram Pita Cheti SwabhavvatTrityam Hitam 
KaryaKaaraN-achash-Anya Bhavanti Hit-buddhaye 

One's mother, father, and friends are well-wishers through their inherent nature (swabhav) 
The others become our well wishers when we can do something for them.
