Famous quotes containing the words permissible and/or power:
“What is permissible is not always honorable.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“Swift as a shadow, short as any dream,
Brief as the lightning in the collied night,
That in a spleen unfolds both heaven and earth,
And, ere a man hath power to say “Behold!”
The jaws of darkness do devour it up.
So quick bright things come to confusion.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
