Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or limit:

    “Authority and power are two different things: power is the force by means of which you can oblige others to obey you. Authority is the right to direct and command, to be listened to or obeyed by others. Authority requests power. Power without authority is tyranny.”
    —Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)

    “No one who cannot limit himself has ever been able to write.”
    —Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux (1636–1711)
