Quotes about moderation
Be studious in your profession, and you will be learned. Be industrious and frugal, and you will be rich. Be sober and temperate, and you will be healthy. Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy. At least, you will, by such conduct, stand the best chance for such consequences.
Benjamin Franklin
Power exercised with violence has seldom been of long duration, but temper and moderation generally produce permanence in all things.
Seneca
Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
Benjamin Franklin
Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
Benjamin Franklin
Practice moderation and balance in all that you do.
John Wooden
Innocent pleasures in moderation can provide relaxation for the body and mind and can foster family and other relationships. But pleasure, per se, offers no deep, lasting satisfaction or sense of fulfillment. The pleasure-centered person, too soon bored with each succeeding level of "fun," constantly cries for more and more. So the next new pleasure has to be bigger and better, more exciting, with a bigger "high." A person in this state becomes almost entirely narcissistic, interpreting all of life in terms of the pleasure it provides to the self here and now.
Stephen Covey
