Minimum Breaking Strength

Famous quotes containing the words minimum, breaking and/or strength:

    There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.
    —H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)

    Freedom is poetry, taking liberties with words, breaking the rules of normal speech, violating common sense. Freedom is violence.
    Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)

    When the shadow of death blots out my joy
    And erases the face of the sun
    Give me strength to endure, hope to believe
    That living and dying are one.
    William L. Wallace (20th century)
