It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement. Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs, therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity or undue depression in adversity.

Isocrates

Both in individuals and in masses violent excitement is always followed by remission, and often by reaction. We are all inclined to depreciate whatever we have overpraised, and, on the other hand, to show undue indulgence where we have shown undue rigor.

Thomas B. Macaulay

If something produces an undue amount of pleasure or undue amount of displeasure, it's going to be judged differently and it's going to be introduced in your narrative with a different size, with a different development. So that is the next element to superimpose on the sequencing element. And in fact, that element is so powerful that very often it can trump the sequencing event, that the sequencing aspect.

Antonio Damasio

No one has a First Amendment right to lie to a federal agency in order to claim an improper tax status in order to avoid legal disclosure requirements on political spending and thereby receive undue tax benefits. That's a criminal false statement and possibly a fraud.

Sheldon Whitehouse

One nation is to another what one individual is to another; with this melancholy distinction perhaps, that the former with fewer of the benevolent emotions than the latter, are under fewer restraints also from taking undue advantage of the indiscretions of each other.

James Madison

America gains most when individuals have great freedom to pursue personal goals without undue government interference.

Sylvia Earle

Beverly LaHaye

Nothing cools so fast as undue enthusiasm. Water that has boiled freezes sooner than any other.

George Iles

I am a practical girl, and a life is only so long. It should be spent in as much peace and good eating and good reading as possible and no undue excitement. That is all I am after.

Catherynne M. Valente

Leaks are good. There is too much secrecy in our government. Sometimes the government knows about a problem and it takes a leak to embarrass the bureaucracy and get them to do something about it.

Joan Claybrook

Politics is a way of ruling in divided societies without undue violence...politics is not just a necessary evil; it is a realistic good.

Bernard Crick

Over-confidence is as evil as undue anxiety.

Thomas Chandler Haliburton

Lies are usually caused by an undue fear of men.

Nachman of Breslov

It's important to be able to sit together and form a government of the majority that serves everyone, and not a government of minorities that takes care of itself.

Benny Gantz

Consolation indiscreetly pressed upon us, when we are suffering undue affliction, only serves to increase our pain, and to render our grief more poignant.
