I need an answer within the hour for this...
Who was the original person that stated "Everything in moderation"? I want to quote him/her but I can't seem to find out who said it first. |

I googled it and I got Socrates and plus I remember us talking about it in greek history, because it means to commit hubris.
hrmmmm...not sure though. |

Also, "everything in moderation" is one of the inscriptions on the temple of Apollo at Delphi.

Yeah, I googled it and got Harvey Steiman too, but I have no clue who he is. I don't know why a quote from a wine person would be so popular.
Could you link me to where you found Socrates, mzkandi? edit: Great... I got Oscar Wilde now for "Everything in moderation, including moderation". That's three possible people for this quote... |

In this one, a report, he credited for the quote *TRIES TO HURRY* I had three direct quotes but I go find them again Another one http://www.stedwards.oxon.sch.uk/Philosophy_introduction.htm down towards the bottom QUOTE The first philosophers met together and dedicated in the temple of Apollo the first fruits of their wisdom, the famous inscriptions ‘Know Thyself’, and ‘Everything in Moderation’. (Socrates)

QUOTE Socrates said that he learnt the maxim gnothi seauton, meaning 'know thyself' at Delphi where it was inscribed, together with 'everything in moderation', over the entrance to the ancient temple of Apollo.
