14 Quotes: limits and limitations
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad.
Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague,
like a breeze among flowers.
--Helen Keller
The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them
into the impossible.
--Arthur C. Clarke
You are never really playing against an opponent. You are playing
against yourself, your own highest standards. And when you reach your
limits, that is real joy.
--Arthur Ashe
