No extreme is good
What is the best way to say in English that 'no extreme is good'? It just doesn't sound English at all.. I need to express that we should seek a moderate solution to a problem and avoid extreme solutions both to the 'right' and to the 'left'.
Seeking a moderate path between extreme alternatives is called seeking a 'middle course' or finding the 'middle ground'.
Note that this saying is more of a positive, expressing the best course of action rather than being the negative expression.
A middle course
