Bounds Quotes

“Niemand ist mehr Sklave, als der sich für frei hält, ohne es zu sein.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Elective Affinities

“Life is two things. Life is morality – life is adventure. Squire and master. Adventure rules, and morality looks up the trains in the Bradshaw. Morality tells you what is right, and adventure moves you. If morality means anything it means keeping bounds, respecting implications, respecting implicit bounds. If individuality means anything it means breaking bounds – adventure.”
― H.G. Wells

“Dear if your limits and my limits were same
Our borders would not have been separate”
― Vineet Raj Kapoor

“Preconditions to unbound love are not possible, as love knows
no boundations.”
― Girdhar Joshi, Some Mistakes Have No Pardon

“Nous sommes les occupants de cet espace et de ce temps. Nous sommes les ouvriers, manœuvres, ingénieurs, d'une usine sans porte.”
― René Barjavel, La Faim du tigre

“God has of his own motion placed himself under the Law of Prayer and has obligated himself to answer the prayers of men. He has ordained prayer as a means whereby he will do things through men as they pray, which he would not otherwise do. If prayer puts God to work on earth, then, by the same token, prayerlessness rules God out of the world’s affairs, and prevents him from working. The driving power, the conquering force in God’s cause is God himself. Call on me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which though knowest not, (Jer. 33:3 MEV) is God’s challenge to prayer. Prayer puts God in full force into God’s work.”

“Many instances occur in God’s Word showing God intervenes in this world in answer to prayer. Nothing is clearer when the Bible is consulted than when Almighty God is brought directly into the things of this world by the praying of His people. Jonah flees from duty and takes a ship for a distant port. But God follows him, and by a strange providence this disobedient prophet is cast out of the vessel, and the God who sent him to Nineveh prepares a fish to swallow him. In the fish’s belly he cries out to the God against whom he had sinned, and God intervenes and causes the fish to vomit Jonah out on dry land. Even the fishes of the great deep are subject to the Law of Prayer.”
