We don't have major limits in the transfer market.
David Gill, Scottish Scientist (1843-1914)
I am a realist as well as an idealist, and I think that it is incumbent upon those of us in opposition to try to work within what are always arduous circumstances to stretch the limits of the possible.
Todd Gitlin, American Sociologist
The human mind will not be confined to any limits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German Poet (1749-1832)
What I had to do was keep the story within certain limits of what was, of course, plausible.
Arthur Golden, American Writer
Don't show off every day, or you'll stop surprising people. There must always be some novelty left over. The person who displays a little more of it each day keeps up expectations, and no one ever discovers the limits of his talent.
Baltasar Gracian, Spanish Philosopher (1601-1658)
It puts limits on criminals' rights to destroy unborn children without the permission of the woman.

Limits are very important.

So I wonder if anything should ever be off limits.
Kathy Griffin, American Comedian (1961-  )
The world owes all its onward impulses to men ill at ease. The happy man inevitably confines himself within ancient limits.

The progress of the natural sciences in modern times has of course so much exceeded all expectations that any suggestion that there may be some limits to it is bound to arouse suspicion.

It can hardly be denied that such a demand quite arbitrarily limits the facts which are to be admitted as possible causes of the events which occur in the real world.
Friedrich August von Hayek, Austrian Economist (1899-1992)
Have you ever been to Glens Falls? The city limits signs are on the same post.
Bobby Heenan, American Entertainer (1944-  )
Tolerance always has limits - it cannot tolerate what is itself actively intolerant.
Sidney Hook, American Philosopher (1902-1989)
Religions do a useful thing: they narrow God to the limits of man. Philosophy replies by doing a necessary thing: it elevates man to the plane of God.
Victor Hugo, French Author (1802-1885)
The law always limits every power it gives.
David Hume, Scottish Philosopher (1711-1776)
The scientific imagination always restrains itself within the limits of probability.
Thomas Huxley, English Scientist (1825-1895)
Patience has its limits. Take it too far, and it's cowardice.
George Jackson, American Activist (1941-1971)
Patience has its limits, take it too far and it's cowardice.
Holbrook Jackson, English Writer
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
Thomas Jefferson, American President (1743-1826)
As a journalist, one tends to think there's nothing off limits.
Peter Jennings, Canadian Journalist (1938-  )
