“It is only through extremes that men can arrive at the middle path of wisdom and virtue.”
Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835) German (Prussian) philosopher, government functionary, diplomat, and founder of the University of Berlin

It is only through extremes that men can arrive at the middle path of wisdom and virtue.
