Limitation Quotes - page 5

I'm just telling you the structure of the story. It's something like... There was Paradise at the beginning of time. And then some cataclysm occurred and people fell into history, and history is: limitation, and mortality, and suffering, and self-consciousness. But there's a mode of being – or potentially the establishment of the state – that will transcend that. And that's what time is aiming at. That's the idea of the story. (Jordan Peterson)
Something that's everything lacks limitation... There are advantages to not being able to do things. If you had everything you wanted at every moment at your fingertips, then there's nothing. There's no story. It's like Superman being able to bounces hydrogen bombs off of him. The whole series died because he didn't have any flaws. There's no story without limitation.
Jordan Peterson
The system problem is essentially the problem of the limitation of analytical procedures in science. This used to be expressed by half-metaphysical statements, such as emergent evolution or ‘the whole is more than the sum of its parts,' but has a clear operational meaning.
Ludwig von Bertalanffy
A republic - if you can keep it - is about limitation, and for good reason, because we are mortal and our actions are imperfect.
Mike Pence
Dialogue in Hell: limitation to the increase of taxes. So they conceived a scheme truly admirable for its simplicity.... A special fund was created, the capitalized resources of which are meant to be a permanent redemption of the public debt by successive fractions; so that every time the state borrows, it must endow the sinking fund with a certain capital for the purpose of liquidating the new debt at a given time.... Our system of accounting, fruit of long experience, is distinguished by the clarity and the certitude of its procedures. It obstructs abuses and gives to no one, from the smallest official to the chief of state himself, the means of diverting the least sum from its original purpose, or of making irregular use of it.
Will Eisner
Black holes set a limitation on the number of species of elementary particles-quarks, leptons, neutrinos-which may exist. And black holes lead to a fundamental limitation on the rate at which information can be transferred for given message energy by any communication system.
Jacob Bekenstein
The word music is a convenient way to talk about what I'm interested in, but actually, in some ways, it's a limitation.
Anthony Braxton
What I have found is that, in a family business structure, sometimes what is needed is a sense of discipline rather than creativity. You have to take everyones ideas and make it work. When you are dealing with money, there is a limitation on how creative you can be.
Ashwin Sanghi
There is no time and space limitation for public accountability on the Internet. Creative commonality is standard and does not resemble the authoritarian style of the dead communist experience. It seems that it is no longer society's obligation to understand legislation; it is a duty for governments to be understood by their people.
Eduardo Paes
In English, I'm a little bit limited. I speak English as a second language, and that's a little limitation that I have to work around and I have to use it to my favor. So, yes, that's why I end up wanting to do more things in Latin America.
Gael Garcia Bernal
I love a challenge. And I love defying limitation, gender stereotypes, and people's expectations of me as an actress. (Gwendoline Christie)
Kids only learn that the stove is hot when they put their finger on and they burn it. This, unfortunately, is the limitation of our precious brain.
Hasso Plattner
I've realized that my... let me call it 'destiny' or some force that has pushed me to identify looking for your comfort zone as a kind of limitation. And everybody has a tendency to fall into the comfort zone. I did that in the early stage of my career.
Irrfan Khan
My gender has never been an issue or a limitation. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by strong women growing up, and with them as my role models, I was never limited by the traditional roles women find themselves in.
Brenda Brathwaite
Music is there for us to explore. To intentionally limit yourself to one, two, or three genres is limitation at its worst. Music is huge; it's a gigantic history lesson, and if you are true music fan or a musician, you should explore it. It's all right there in front of us.
Phil Anselmo
When you are in control of what the final product is, there is kind of no limitation to what you feel like you can do because you know that if you don't like it, you can just cut it out.
Rachael Taylor

Roy Moore

Russell Pearce
None can be more negative in its impact than the limitation on human resource capacity.
Said Musa
The infinite God can not by us, in the present limitation of our faculties, be comprehended or conceived.
William Hamilton
The object and practice of liberty lies in the limitation of government power. (Douglas MacArthur)
Trust allows you to give. Giving is abundant. As you give so it shall be given to you. If you give with judgment, limitation and stinginess, that is what you will create in your life - judgment, limitation, and stinginess.
Gary Zukav
The one great element in continuing the success of an offensive is maintaining the momentum. This was lost last fall when shortages caused by the limitation of port facilities made it impossible to get sufficient supplies to the armies when they approached the German border.
George C. Marshall
Before, the wire studies were subjective, portraits, caricatures, stylized representations of beasts and humans. But these recent things have been viewed from a more objective angle and although their present size is diminutive, I feel that there is no limitation to the scale to which they can be enlarged... One of the canons of the futuristic painters, as propounded by Modigliani, was that objects behind other objects should not be lost to view, but should be shown through the others by making the latter transparent. The wire sculpture accomplishes this in a most decided manner.
Alexander Calder
In art progress does not consist in extension, but in the knowledge of limits. Limitation of means determines style, engenders new form, and give impulses to creation. Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence. New means, new subjects. The subject is not the object; it is a new unity, a lyricism which grows completely from the means.
Georges Braque
