About this Quote

This quote by Nancy Astor speaks with the threats of extremism in life. Those who wish to alter whatever are likely to be driven by a need to enforce their very own ideas as well as worths on others, overlooking the viewpoints of those around them. This can lead to dispute and disruption, as well as a disrespect for the legal rights of others. On the various other hand, those who wish to change nothing are most likely to be resistant to any type of type of development or growth. This can result in stagnation as well as a lack of development, both directly as well as in culture as a whole. Both of these extremes can be harmful, as they can cause an absence of balance as well as harmony in life. It is important to discover a middle ground in between these two extremes, and to strive for an equilibrium between progression and also security.
