Excess makes the heart grow fonder...

'Tis not the eating, nor 'tis not the drinking that is to be blamed, but the excess

His form had yet not lost / All her original brightness, nor appeared / Less than archangel ruined, and th' excess / Of glory obscured.

Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity -it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.

We continue to expect our optical Internet revenues to grow in excess of 125 percent in 2000 over 1999, to exceed $10 billion.

Nothing is good in moderation. You cannot know good in anything until you have torn the heart out of it by excess.
