Zeal and Discretion
Galatians 4:18
But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.


Zeal and discretion united together are like the two lions which supported the throne of Solomon; and he who has them both is like Moses for mildness and like Phineas for his service; therefore, as wine is tempered with water, so let discretion temper zeal.

(H. Smith.)
