Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide.

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.

You gotta take care of yourself; you can't do anything in excess.

My theory is that balance is key - nothing in excess.

I hold this as a rule of life: too much of anything is bad.

Everything in excess is opposed to nature.

Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit.

People endure what they endure and they deal with it. It may corrupt them. It may lead them into all sorts of compensatory excesses.
