“Tag this insensitive if you like, but I arrived in this world with no star to light my way, no pedigree or chest full of precious jewels. Armed only with determination and moderation, I dug a good life out of hard rock. Without so much as a speck of shame, I find solace in the failures of those who dug as untiringly as I did but in the opposite direction.”
Bobby W. Miller
“Temperate temperance is best; intemperate temperance injures the cause of temperance”
Mark Twain
“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
“In success be moderate”
Benjamin Franklin
“Basically, they are looking for moderately healthy patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's.”
David Watson
“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 in a case like the present.”
“Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.”
Oscar Wilde
