Extremes are dangerous.

Jonathan Mayhew

The extremes of jungles, mountains, and deserts are inherently dangerous places.

Bear Grylls

There are two equally dangerous extremes-to shut reason out, and to let nothing else in.

Blaise Pascal

That extremes beget extremes is an apothegm built on the most profound observation of the human mind.

Charles Caleb Colton

Edmund Burke

Michael Badnarik

All extremes are bad. All that is good and useful, if carried to extremes, may become-and beyond a certain limit is bound to become-bad and injurious.

Vladimir Lenin

Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman-a rope over an abyss. A dangerous crossing, a dangerous wayfaring, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting
