Moderation is the only rule of a healthful life. This means moderation in all things wholesome.
Moderation is caused by the fear of exciting the envy and contempt which those merit who are intoxicated with their good fortune; it is a vain display of our strength of mind, and in short the moderation of men at their greatest height is only a desire to appear greater than their fortune.
Keep to the middle if you wish to keep moderation. The mid way is the safe way. Moderation abides in the mean, and moderation is virtue. Every abiding place outside the bounds of moderation is only exile to the wise man.

Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.

Prayer gives us light by which to see and to judge from God's perspective and from eternity. That is why you must not give up on praying!
The world acquires value only through its extremes and endures only through moderation; extremists make the world great, the moderates give it stability.
To give one's life is a right only when one gives it unselfishly.
Essayists must not only be succinct but have original ideas and, even harder to come by, or to fake, likable voices. Consciously or not, they endeavor to win us over by charm. If an essayist can not only charm but write the unforgettable sentence, one that reveals the heart in a few words, I'm her slave.
Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm.
