More on Moderation
“Love moderately. Long love doth so. Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. *Love each other in moderation. That is the key to long-lasting love. Too fast is as bad as too slow.*”
“Progress needs the brakeman, but the brakeman should not spend all his time putting on the brakes.”
“Indeed, moderation is my middle name (though I do not often use it in signing legal documents)”
More on Well Being
“Try a little harder, and meditation comes. You do not feel the body or anything else. When you come out of it after the hour, you have had the most beautiful rest you ever had in your life. That is the only way you ever give rest to your system. Not even the deepest sleep will give you such a rest as that.”
“Compassion is concern of others' well being.”
“Must be out-of-doors enough to get experience of wholesome reality, as a ballast to thought and sentiment. Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life.”
