"Perhaps too much of everything is as bad as too little"

- Edna Ferber

About this Quote

This quote by Edna Ferber recommends that small amounts is key in life. Too much of anything can be detrimental, just as insufficient can be. This might be applied to numerous aspects of life, such as work, relationships, and even recreation. Too much work can lead to burnout, while insufficient can cause monotony and an absence of performance. Too much time spent with pals can lead to neglecting other important elements of life, while insufficient can result in solitude and seclusion. Too much leisure can cause a lack of motivation and an absence of purpose, while insufficient can result in a lack of joy and satisfaction. The key is to discover a balance between the 2 extremes. By finding a healthy balance, we can lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
