Famous quotes containing the word stops:
“There are no lower or higher or median moralities. There is only one morality, and it is precisely the one that was given to us during the time of Jesus Christ and that stops me, you and Barantsevich from stealing, offending others, lying etc.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
