I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess. If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost in the shuffle, 'I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.'

Tallulah Bankhead

There is moderation even in excess.

Benjamin Disraeli

The key to a good life: excess in moderation. They'll tell you moderation is the key to life, but that's bullshit.

Doug Stanhope

Everything in moderation, with occasional excess.

Neil Peart

Moderation in all things. And even moderation in moderation. Don't get too much moderation, you know?

Maya Angelou

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

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Allah loves moderation and hates extravagance and excess.

Umar

Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

Oscar Wilde

The name of medicine is thought to have been given from 'moderation', modus, that is, from a due proportion, which advises that things be done not to excess, but 'little by little', paulatim. For nature is pained by surfeit but rejoices in moderation. Whence also those who take drugs and antidotes constantly, or to the point of saturation, are sorely vexed, for every immoderation brings not health but danger.

Isidore of Seville

The civilization, so often vaunted by the learned exponents of arts and sciences, will, if allowed to overleap the bounds of moderation, bring great evil upon men. Thus warneth you He Who is the All-Knowing. If carried to excess, civilization will prove as prolific a source of evil as it had been of goodness when kept within the restraints of moderation.

Baha'u'llah

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

W. Somerset Maugham

In all matters moderation is desirable. If a thing is carried to excess, it will prove a source of evil.

Baha'u'llah

Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.

Robert A. Heinlein

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.
