Famous quotes containing the word balance:

    The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will, but pleasantly, and, as it were, merrily, he advances to his own music, alike in frightful alarms and in the tipsy mirth of universal dissoluteness.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
