Die Goldene Mitte

anyone got any idea of a suitable expression in english which carries the same meaning as Die Goldene Mitte?

my heads stalling at the moment...

The golden mean?

Edit: STB's suggestion is more idiomatic. What's the context, btw?

Sounds like the Golden Mean... the root of all things beautiful!

Happy medium.

In German "goldene Mitte" means something like "the best possible compromise under the circumstances" ...

That's why "happy medium" would be a good translation.

Golden Mean = Goldener Schnitt, just fyi.

Thanks! :-)

Hey, who you calling an idiot??!

Would you rather be called idiosyncratic?

Die Goldene Mitte means something like "a happy medium".

...as already stated in post #4 above.

thanks, couldnt really think of the most suitable expression.

well done to those who managed to repeat what STB posted. very helpful.

I didn't read the other posts before I replied . The answer is common knowledge, though. Nothing special.

I know a term we say "dead on ..."

Happy medium
