Famous quotes containing the words strong and/or limit:
“In private life he was good-natured, chearful, social; inelegant in his manners, loose in his morals. He had a coarse, strong wit, which he was too free of for a man in his station, as it is always inconsistent with dignity. He was very able as a minister, but without a certain elevation of mind necessary for great good, or great mischief.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“Berowne they call him, but a merrier man,
Within the limit of becoming mirth,
I never spent an hours talk withal.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
