Default RE: Define some terms for me

I know about what a coefficient is, but it is the moment part that I am having trouble understanding. At one point, someone told me that the moment coefficient was a measure of how stable the aircraft is and where the center of lift is located. Is this correct. Also, do you want to have a low moment coefficient or a high one? Damn aerodynamics is confusing, BUT I LOVE IT!!!
