Famous quotes containing the words circle, limit and/or iii:
“Change begets change. Nothing propagates so fast. If a man habituated to a narrow circle of cares and pleasures, out of which he seldom travels, step beyond it, though for never so brief a space, his departure from the monotonous scene on which he has been an actor of importance would seem to be the signal for instant confusion.... The mine which Time has slowly dug beneath familiar objects is sprung in an instant; and what was rock before, becomes but sand and dust.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 11:7.
“The army is the true nobility of our country.”
—Napoleon Bonaparte III (1808–1873)
