Perfect good sense shuns all extremity, content to couple wisdom with sobriety

Perfect reason flees all extremity, and leads one to be wise with sobriety.

He who shuns the millstone, shuns the meal

It all made perfect sense, and at the same time, nothing seemed to make sense at all.

One ought to look a good deal at oneself before thinking of condemning others.

I feed on good soup, not beautiful language.
