He that is extravagant will soon become poor, and poverty will enforce dependence, and invite corruption -- Johnson
The passion of acquiring riches in order to support a vain expense, corrupts the purest souls -- Fenelon
Waste of time is the most extravagant and costly of all expenses -- Theophrastus
That is suitable to a man, in point of ornamental expense, not which he can afford to have, but which he can afford to lose -- Whately
The man who builds, and lacks wherewith to pay, provides a home from which to run away -- Young
Extremes, though contrary, have the like effects -- Extreme heat kills, and so extreme cold; extreme love breeds satiety, and so extreme hatred; and too violent rigor tempts chastity, as does too much license -- Chapman
Too austere a philosophy makes few wise men; too rigorous politics, few good subjects; too hard a religion, few persons whose devotion is of long continuance -- St Euremond
Mistrust the man who finds everything good; the man who finds everything evil; and still more the man who is indifferent to everything -- Lavater
Laws cannot prevent extravagance; and this, perhaps is not always an evil to the public -- A shilling spent idly by a fool may be picked up by a wiser person, who knows better what to do with it; it is, therefore, not lost -- Franklin
Extremes are dangerous -- A middle estate is safest, as a middle temper of the sea, between a still calm and a violent temper, is most hopeful to bear the mariner to his haven -- Swinnock
All extremes are error -- The reverse of error is not the truth, but error still -- Truth lies between these extremes -- Cecil
The man who can be nothing but serious, or nothing but merry, is but half a man -- Leigh Hunt
Extremes meet in almost everything; it is hard to tell whether the statesman at the top of the world, or the ploughman at the bottom, labors hardest -- Tancred
Extreme views are never just; something always turns up which disturbs the calculations founded on their data -- Tancred
The blast that blows loudest is soonest overblown -- Smollett
We must remember how apt man is to extremes -- rushing from credulity and weakness to suspicion and distrust -- Bulwer
The Greatest flood has soonest ebb; the sorest tempest, the most sudden calm; the hottest love, the coldest end; and from the deepest desire often ensues the deadliest hate -- Socrates
Neither great poverty, nor great riches will hear reason -- Fielding
No violent extremes endure; a sober moderation stands secure -- Aleyn
