From An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen

Are you referring to Aslaksen? Hovstad, Yes, I am. He is one of those who are floundering in a bog—decent enough fellow though he may be, otherwise. And most of the people here are in just the same case—see-sawing and edging first to one side and then to the other, so overcome with caution and scruple that they never dare to take any decided step. Dr. Stockmann, Yes, but Aslaksen seemed to me so thoroughly well-intentioned.
