For example too much of anything is never good. Too much money is not a bad thing. Just an example.

I cant think of any at this moment but I want to elaborate on your quote. I believe that too much money is a bad thing. Yes, it can by you lots of material things but it can also allow one to be so caught up in the money that they tend to do whatever it takes to make more (greed). Look at the Enron guys, they had plenty of money but wanted more control, power and became greedy to make more and what did it cost them (freedom, family and death).When people know that you have money everyone wants a hand in it long lost relatives tend to pop up, scandal of a long lost gfriend/bfriend comes about and friends that really aren't being your friend for the person that you are but for what you have.so I say this quote has some truth to it.

"You can never be too thin or too rich."
"It is better to marry than to burn."
"Life is just a bowl of cherries."
"Do unto others before they do it to you."
"Buy now, pay later." (I guess this one is true, AND it is surely too costly!)
"We cannot accept failure." (Just adds to failures.)
