Meaning
This reads as a strict warning against treating emotional extremes as reliable guides. It can be taken to mean that when the mind is pushed into very low or very high states, its judgments become distorted, and only ordinary steadiness is dependable, which lands in moments when strong feeling makes everything seem certain.
