[14]
All their errors are due to excess
and vehemence and their neglect of the maxim of Chilon,1
for they do everything to excess, love, hate, and everything else. And they
think they know everything, and confidently affirm it, and this is the cause of
their excess in everything.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
