The Roman historian Suetonius said of Emperor Agustus:

Leadership Lesson

Don't take on more than you can handle. Don't move faster than you can handle. Pace yourself in everything or you will make a lot of mistakes and burn yourself and others out.

"And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order." -King Benjamin about 124 B.C. Book of Mosiah 4:27
