Our incomes are like our shoes; if too small, they gall and pinch us; but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trip.John Locke
People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never.Ralph Waldo Emerson
A properly balanced story provides an equal representation of the negative and positive attributes of, I could say the world, but it's actually a being. 'Harry Potter''s a good example. So Harry's the hero, right. But he's tainted with evil. There's a dark and a light in every bit of that narrative. It's well balanced.Jordan Peterson
I've felt strongly that the advantage of Linux is that it doesn't have a niche or any special market, but that different individuals and companies end up pushing it in the direction they want, and as such you end up with something that is pretty balanced across the board.Linus Torvalds
Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.Helen Keller
The abilities of man must fall short on one side or the other, like too scanty a blanket when you are abed. If you pull it upon your shoulders, your feet are left bare; if you thrust it down to your feet, your shoulders are uncovered.Thomas Paine
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.Francis Bacon
