He says it in Act II in the scene after the Balcony. Romeo visits Friar Lawrence's cell to ask him if he will marry Romeo and Juliet. It is at the end of this scene with Romeo and the Friar where this said.

he's basically saying to Romeo to slow down his new love with Juliet because rushing doesn't end well in love.
In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", the Frier feels that Romeo's impulsiveness will be his downfall. He acts on immediacy and impulse, without taking the time to think through his decisions. He addresses Romeo's fickleness as well.
his concerns are that the feelings that they have could just be like... a crush. not something that they should get married over. but in the end he agrees because he says that their marriage could end the fued.
The friar cautions Romeo to "Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast."
William Shakespeare wrote this line in his play Romeo and Juliet. It is spoken by Friar Laurence, who is advising Romeo to take things slowly and make wise decisions rather than rushing into action.
"Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast."

To love in moderation because eventually there physical attraction will no longer be. Also to go slow, because those who go too fast will stumble.
Friar Lawrence cautions Romeo because he is afraid he'll get his heart broken and fall into depression again like he did because of Rosaline. He also thinks Romeo is moving way too fast with Juliet because they're already getting married and they barely met each other.

I believe you are referring to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In that story the friar is trying to advise Romeo to take slower, more thoughtful steps. Think back to the ending, if Romeo and Juliet hadn't rushed into things would the outcome have been the same?
One hopes that the actor playing the friar is sufficiently accomplished to employ more than one tone of voice when playing the part. The friar needs to be meditative ("O mickle is the powerful grace that lies in herbs"), incredulous ("Holy Saint Francis! What a change is here!"), pedantic ("they stumble that run fast"), joyful ("Here comes the lady!"), hectoring ("Fie! Fie! thou shamest thy shape, thy love, thy wit"), calming ("Hold, daughter, I do spy a kind of hope"), panicky ("Now must I to the monument alone"), desperate ("I dare no longer stay"), and penitent ("If aught in this miscarried by my fault, let my old life be sacrificed"), among other things.
