Quotes about Golden mean

There is no golden mean between these two extremes; either this early life must become low in our estimation, or it will have our inordinate love.

By the mean of the thing I denote a point equally distant from either extreme, which is one and the same for everybody; by the mean relative to us, that amount which is neither too much nor too little, and this is not one and the same for everybody.

There is no such thing as observing a mean in excess or deficiency, nor as exceeding or falling short in observance of a mean.
