A democratic government that respects no limits on its power is a ticking time bomb, waiting to destroy the rights it was created to protect.
James Bovard
Predatory capitalism created a complex industrial system and an advanced technology; it permitted a considerable extension of democratic practice and fostered certain liberal values, but within limits that are now being pressed and must be overcome. It is not a fit system for the mid-twentieth century.
Noam Chomsky
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
Frederick Douglass
Everything in life depends on how that life accepts its limits.
James Baldwin
Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
Brendan Francis
We trifle when we assign limits to our desires, since nature hath set none.
Christian Nevell Bovee
Whatever limits us we call fate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a magic in that little world, home; it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits
Robert Southey
The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
One who limits himself to his chosen mode of ignorance.
Elbert Hubbard
There is no well-defined boundary between honesty and dishonesty. The frontiers of one blend with the outside limits of the other, and he who attempts to tread this dangerous ground may be sometimes in one domain and sometimes in the other.
O. Henry
Breaking free from extremely limited capacities of the present-day physical body and having gotten rid of the limits, a man may embark on a journey to a new knowledge, which is being born in his or her dreams. Nobody and nothing can stop such a man for he or she, having tasted freedom, has touched upon the capacities lying within a man. He or she has understood that life is a permanent creation of perfecting his or her soul through the world matter. It is only in this process that a man is implementing the plan of God
Augustinas Rakauskas
There are no such things as limits to growth, because there are no limits to the human capacity for intelligence, imagination, and wonder.
Ronald Reagan
