I am looking for an American proverb which connotes that average is better than maximum or minimum. For instance, if you work regularly you are probably in some cases more successful than people who work to their utmost or than people who are relaxed.

            The closest common expression I can think of would be "slow and steady wins the race".



            It does not however have the minimum-average-maximum connotation that you are looking for; it means that an effort that is sustained and not excessive will do better in the long run compared to an effort that is higher but erratic.

                      The closest common expression I can think of would be "slow and steady wins the race".



                      It does not however have the minimum-average-maximum connotation that you are looking for; it means that an effort that is sustained and not excessive will do better in the long run compared to an effort that is higher but erratic.
