Slow and steady wins the race.

~ The Tortoise and the Hare ~ "A Hare one day ridiculed the short feet and slow pace of the Tortoise. The latter, laughing, said: "Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race." The Hare, deeming her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course, and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race they started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, trusting to his native swiftness, cared little about the race, and lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue." ~ The most reproduced modern English translation of the fable was written by Rev. George Fyler Townsend, published in 1867 in Three Hundred Æesop's Fables: Literally Translated from the Greek, pages 19-20.pp. ~ http://www.archive.org/stream/threehundredaeso00aesoiala#page/19/mode/1up
