that is, between those who are negligent and those who are excessive.

The closest equivalent in English to this meaning is:
Moderation in all things.
This is the most common English expression that corresponds to the idea of "middle ground" between excess and deficiency.
Another related saying is:
The middle course is the safest.
That is, the middle path is the safest.
Similarly:
Virtue lies in the middle.
This is close to the idea that good lies in balance, not in excess or deficiency, which is the meaning of the Arabic proverb, "The best of people are those of the middle path."
