Thought of the Day
μηδὲν ἄγαν.
unknown, inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi
Nothing too much.
(The key is to replace the 'thing' in 'nothing' with gerunds and sometimes nouns--for example, no drinking too much, no eating too much, no relaxing too much--but one ought to say from time to time 'no moderating too much' as well. Moderation in all things is boring).
