Avoid all extremes save one...

Food for thought courtesy of Wormwood in The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis:

"I had not forgotten my promise to consider whether we should make the patient an extreme patriot or an extreme pacifist. All extremes, except extreme devotion to the Enemy [God], are to be encouraged."

I love the Screwtape Letters - one of my absolute favorites. It gives me something new each time I read it.
