Famous quotes containing the words weak and/or limit:
“He serveth the servant,
The brave he loves amain;
He kills the cripple and the sick,
And straight begins again.
For gods delight in gods,
And thrust the weak aside;
To him who scorns their charities,
Their arms fly open wide.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Greatness collapses of itself: such limit the gods have set to the growth of prosperous states.”
—Marcus Annaeus Lucan (39–65)
