Nil Ultra Vires

Here is today's emblem and distich by Joachim Camerarius, 2:16. The camel, of course, is famous for its talents as a pack animal, but even the camel requires an even load, an idea that we can apply to all the burdens we carry, both literal and metaphorical.

Nil Ultra Vires
Ne nimium imprudens teneris impone lacertis:
Et fortem sternunt pondera iniqua virum.
