Aphorism #108 The Path to Greatness is along with Others.

Intercourse works well: manners and taste are shared: good sense and even talent grow insensibly. Let the sanguine man then make a comrade of the lymphatic, and so with the othertemperaments, so that without any forcing the golden mean is obtained. It is a great art to agree with others. The alternation of contraries beautifies and sustains the world: if it can cause harmony in the physical world, still more can it do so in the moral. Adopt this policy in the choice of friends and defendants; by joining extremes the more effective middle way is found. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=FNgb_l6sGJU:jvvm9BaEBpo:yIl2A UoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=FNgb_l6sGJU:jvvm9BaEBpo:qj6ID K7rITs)

I don't think this applies to today's world. Would you join terrorists? Would you join the miserable players of the game of malice? Aren't those extremes? But still, if moral, wisdom will apply in teamwork, Everyone has something healthy and instructive to provide if he/she wishes to do so.
