Mankind suffers from two excesses: to exclude reason, and to live by nothing but reason.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Make me chaste and To what excesses will men not go for the sake of a religion in which they believe so little and which they practice so imperfectly!
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.
Adam Smith
Image
Future generations are going to look at the way we make toilet paper as one of the greatest excesses of our age. Making toilet paper from virgin wood is a lot worse than driving Hummers in terms of global warming pollution.
Allen Hershkowitz

I'm very sceptical about some of the excesses that I regard the Milibands of this world are leading towards. When you think about it, it's all been incredibly rapid - a year, a year and a half. And it's not a concern: it's an obsession. It's something very close to hysteria.
Frederick Forsyth

Alas, human vices, however horrible one might imagine them to be, contain the proof (were it only in their infinite expansion) of man's longing for the infinite but it is a longing that often takes the wrong route. It is my belief that the reason behind all culpable excesses lies in this depravation of the sense of the infinite.

As a myth of national purpose and as a program for individual conduct, the simple life has, in a sense, served as the nation's conscience, reminding Americans of what the founders had hoped they would be and thereby providing a vivifying counterpoint to the excesses of materialist individualism.
David Shi

We reform the system. We save capitalism from its own excesses.
Robert Reich
Image
The passions of a revolution are apt to hurry even good men into excesses.
Alexander Hamilton
