“Quick action on illegal matters; constitutional takes time.”

Henry Kissinger

Simplified Meaning:

When something is illegal, people often deal with it right away because it is against the law. For example, if someone steals, the police catch them quickly and there's a speedy reaction to stop them. However, when we need to follow the proper legal rules and procedures, things take longer. This includes issues like new laws or important changes that need careful thought and agreement from many people. A good example is when a country wants to change its constitution or make a big legal decision; it takes time because everyone wants to make sure it's done correctly and fairly. Therefore, if you want to make changes the right way, you need to be patient and follow all the steps needed.
