Famous quotes containing the words permitted and/or act:

    We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.
    Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)

    By act of Congress, male officers are gentlemen, but by act of God, we are ladies. We don’t have to be little mini-men and try to be masculine and use obscene language to come across. I can take you and flip you on the floor and put your arms behind your back and you’ll never move again, without your ever knowing that I can do it.
    Sherian Grace Cadoria (b. 1940)
