Famous quotes containing the words point and/or reach:
“The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection, that one is sometimes willing to commit sins for the sake of loyalty, that one does not push asceticism to the point where it makes friendly intercourse impossible, and that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life, which is the inevitable price of fastening one’s love upon other human individuals.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“I have no motive, Brothers, to deceive you. I am sincerely desirous to promote your welfare. Listen to me, therefore, while I tell you that you cannot remain where you now are. Circumstances that cannot be controlled, which are beyond the reach of human laws, render it impossible that you can flourish in the midst of a civilized community.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
