I am bound to add that the excess in too little has ever proved in me more dangerous than the excess in too much; the last may cause indigestion, but the first causes death.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit.
More die in the United States of too much food than of too little.
It is better to do too much than to do too little.
Perhaps too much of everything is as bad as too little.
Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide.
The best things carried to excess are wrong.
Growing up, I learnt to think, 'Let's make it a big night tonight, as you never know what's going to happen next.' So now I have enough, I take too much; when I get the chance to have a fine dinner, I will. And it's had an effect on my health.
I hold this as a rule of life: too much of anything is bad.
I'm of those who believe that excesses in all matters are not a good idea, whether it's formation of bubbles, whether it's excess in the financial market, whether it's excess of inequality, it has to be watched, it has to be measured, and it has to be anticipated in terms of consequences.
Nothing exceeds like excess.
