From Theodor Haecker’s (1950) Journal in the Night: “What is the most difficult thing for men? Measure: ‘the golden mean’. And this is true in theory, in teaching as in practice, in doing and acting. And that makes one despair that things will go better after this war. Those with a sense of measure will not have the power to make the peace, and those who have the power will make peace without ‘measure’.”
