Famous quotes containing the word permit:

    “As the tragic writer rids us of what is petty and ignoble in our nature, so also the humorist rids us of what is cautious, calculating, and priggish—about half of our social conscience, indeed. Both of them permit us, in blessed moments of revelation, to soar above the common level of our lives.”
    —Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

    “We permit all things to ourselves, and that which we call sin in others, is experiment for us.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “[M]y conception of liberty does not permit an individual citizen or a group of citizens to commit acts of depredation against nature in such a way as to harm their neighbors and especially to harm the future generations of Americans. If many years ago we had had the necessary knowledge, and especially the necessary willingness on the part of the Federal Government, we would have saved a sum, a sum of money which has cost the taxpayers of America two billion dollars.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
