lit

Dyden i midten, sagde Fanden, han satte sig mellem to advokater. Det siger Alceste ikke, men det kunne han tænke.

2015, Johannes Møllehave, Læsehest med teaterkikkert, Lindhardt og Ringhof, →ISBN:

Virtue in the middle, said the Devil, he sat down between two lawyers. Alceste does not say this, but he might think it.

... at Ib åbenbart havde det med at omgås tidligere sagførere. Ib kunne sige som fanden, der satte sig mellem to advokater: dyden i midten!

... that Ib was, apparently, in the habit of socialising with former lawyers. Ib could say like the Devil, who sat down between two lawyers: virtue in the middle!


dyden i midten

Talemåder som 'dyden i midten' og 'den gyldne middelvej' og 'for lidt og for meget er lige slemt' viser alle tilbage til Aristoteles' ide om, at 'det rigtige' næsten altid ligger cirka midt mellem to ekstremer ...

2005, Vær god, Forlaget Ajour, →ISBN, page 9:

Phrases like 'virtue in the middle' and 'the golden middle way' and 'too little and too much is just as bad' all refer back to Aristoteles' idea that 'the right thing' is almost always approximately halfway between two extremes ...

Ideen om »dyden i midten« er ikke noget særegent dansk fænomen, men den kendertegner den danske opfattelse af det ekstreme som farligt og fremmed.

2007, Rasmus Glenthøj, På fædrelandets alter: national identitet og patriotisme hos det danske borgerskab 1807-1814, Museum Tusculanum Press, →ISBN, page 77:

The idea of »virtue in the middle« is not a uniquely Danish phenomenon, but it characterizes the Danish view of the extreme as dangerous and strange.

Man kan sige, at pligten og nytten står på de to fløje — og dyden i midten. Den sidste formulering er et ekko af Aristoteles' berømte ord om dyden i midten som den gyldne middelvej mellem to yderpunkter.

2009, Jørgen Husted, Etik og værdier i socialt arbejde, Hans Reitzels Forlag, →ISBN, page 61:

One may say that duty and use are on the two wings — and virtue in the middle. The last articulation is an echo of Aristoteles' famous words about virtue in the middle as the golden middle way between two extremes.

Dyden i midten betyder at man hverken skal være fej eller dumdristig, men tapper.

Virtue in the middle means that one should be neither cowardly nor stupidly daring, but brave.

one should preferentially seek out moderate ways rather than extremes

However, the vocalism of the Germanic words is problematic. Furthermore, the similarity with Proto-Semitic *ṯawr- (“bull, ox”) suggests that the word is a wanderword.
