Exceeds

Famous quotes containing the word exceeds:

“Man is the only animal that laughs or weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they ought to be. We weep at what thwarts or exceeds our desires in serious matters; we laugh at what only disappoints our expectations in trifles.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

“Thank the Gods! My misery exceeds all my hopes!”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)

“Fortunately, we can take in only so much misfortune; what exceeds that limit either destroys us or leaves us indifferent.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
