“There is something wrong with the way in which we make our decisions. The Government listen too much to the pollsters and the party managers. The trouble is that they are not even very good at politics, and they are entering too much into policy decisions. As a result, there is too much short-termism, too much reacting to events, and not enough shaping of events. We give the impression of being in office but not in power.”

“In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.”

“Not too much science but too little science is at the root of our troubles.”

“Even when nothing happens, everything seems too much for me. What can be said, then, in the presence of an event, any event?”

“If something takes too long, something happens to you. You become all and only the thing you want and nothing else, for you have paid too much for it, too much in wanting and too much in waiting and too much in getting.”

“It was a delightful visit;-perfect, in being much too short.”

“And if you can’t shape your life the way you want,
at least try as much as you can
not to degrade it
by too much contact with the world,
by too much activity and talk.”

“"Too much trouble," "Too expensive," or "Who will know the difference" are death knells for good food.”

“No, liberty is not made for us: we are too ignorant, too vain, too presumptuous, too cowardly, too vile, too corrupt, too attached to rest and to pleasure, too much slaves to fortune to ever know the true price of liberty. We boast of being free! To show how much we have become slaves, it is enough just to cast a glance on the capital and examine the morals of its inhabitants.”

“… nothing is too much trouble if it turns out the way it should.”
