Limit Quotations
Everything has its limit - iron ore cannot be educated into gold.
Mark Twain
If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
Bruce Lee
The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.
Tony Robbins
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.
Michael Phelps
There is nothing wrong with describing Conservatism as protecting the Constitution, protecting all things that limit government. Government is the enemy of liberty. Government should be very restrained.
Ron Paul
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt.
Barack Obama
The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.
Eminem
It is after all the greatest art to limit and isolate oneself.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
Marcus Garvey
