"Methinks I am a prophet new inspi'd,  
and thus expiring do foretell of him: 
His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last,  
for violent fires soon burn out themselves; 
Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short; 
He tires betimes that spurs too fast betimes" 
 -  Shakespeare  (Richard the II).
