Nice collection of quotes about moderation, many of which I've not seen before. My favorite: "Moderation in all things, including moderation.- Petronius."

Also, for those interested, I've posted a one-year testimonial on the relevant forum. Pleased to say I've lost 64 pounds. Included is a nifty little chart I found online.

I think I'm going to use this one as my new S day slogan:

"Moderation resembles temperance. We are not unwilling to eat more, but are afraid of doing ourselves harm."
La Rochefoucauld

Old favorite: All things in moderation -- including moderation.

New favorite: Nothing in excess.

Virtue, then, is a kind of moderation inasmuch as it aims at the mean or moderate amount.

Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics 11:6-7
