“Virtue is a habit of the mind, consistent with nature and moderation and reason.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
“That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field; it has now come to this - that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
“Temperate temperance is best; intemperate temperance injures the cause of temperance”
Mark Twain
“In success be moderate”
Benjamin Franklin
“Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation.”
William Lloyd Garrison
