Weak Limit

Famous quotes containing the words weak and/or limit:

    Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    Greatness collapses of itself: such limit the gods have set to the growth of prosperous states.
    Marcus Annaeus Lucan (39–65)
