"That, however, is mediocrity, though it be called moderation." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche from Thus Spoke Zarathustra

I love that.

One of my closest friends and deepest inspirations likes to say, "Everything in moderation. Including moderation."

How's your "moderation"? Do you need to use it in moderation? :)

Yes, there's the middle path. But you know what? We only find that by testing the extremes. Mediocrity? I don't think that's our destiny. Let's push some edges, shall we?!? :)

"Moderation? It's mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. It's the devil's dilemma. It's neither doing nor not doing. It's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew." ~ Dan Millman from Way of the Peaceful Warrior
