“Throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains”
Democritus
“Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure; nothing more bondage than too much liberty, (or libertinism.)”
Benjamin Franklin
“In success be moderate”
“Be temperate in wine, in eating, girls, and sloth; Or the Gout will seize you and plague you both”
“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 in a case like the present.”
William Lloyd Garrison
“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.”
