“When humans act like animals, they become the most dangerous of animals to themselves and other humans, and this is because of another critical difference between humans and animals: Whereas animals are usually restrained by the limits of physical appetites, humans have mental appetites that can be far more gross and capacious than physical ones. Only humans squander and hoard, murder and pillage because of notions.” HumansDifferencesAnimalDangerousLimitsMurderNotionCriticalAppetiteConsumerismGrossOverconsumptionHumans And Animals Author:Wendell Berry
“The new "ambiguity" means, in a way adjudged favorable to literary, poetic, intellectually and psychologically well-devised and praiseworthily executed linguistic performance, uncertainty of meaning, or difficulty for the interpreter in identifying just what the meaning in question is: it means the old meanings of ambiguity with a difference. It means uncertainty of meaning (of a word or combination of words) purposefully incorporated in a literary composition for the attainment of the utmost possible variety of meaning-play compressible within the verbal limits of the composition.” WayWellsMeanPlayDifferencesLimitsPerformancesDifficultyVarietyCombinationUncertaintyPoeticCompositionAmbiguityAttainmentIdentifyingInterpreter Author:Laura Riding
“If I never explore my limits, my bodymind will gradually tighten and become unconscious. If I regularly explore my limits in a caring and adventuresome fashion, I will expand and grow in a vital fashion. But if I try to push myself past where I am honestly able to go, I will no longer be practicing yoga but instead will be practicing greed, and I will probably be met by pain and disease. Stated simply, it is the difference between ignoring your self, making love to yourself, and raping yourself.” IfsTryingSelfAblePainPastGrowsDifferencesFashionMetsLimitsDiseaseYogaGreedCaringHonestlyUnconsciousMaking Love Author:Ken Dychtwald
“Children need both latitude of expression and firmly enforced limits on their behaviors, in a blend that results in calm, patientmanagement. The key to success is to tailor the rearing environment to the developmental level of the child--what she or he can handle--and to individual differences among children.” NeedsChildrenIndividualDifferencesLevelsResultsEnvironmentExpressionKeysLimitsBehaviorCalmHandleKey To SuccessTailorsLatitudeDevelopmentalIndividual Differences Author:Sandra Scarr
“It seems enormous to me that we have the idea of eternity, of justice, of purity, of beauty, when everything that we see is so far from all that! Who has put those visions into our heads? The soul that knows so much more than what it sees; the soul that comes from far and goes far, and to whom limits make no difference!” KnowsIdeasSoulSeemsDifferencesJusticeVisionLimitsEternityEnormousPurity Author:Elisabeth of Wied
“Humans, like all other creatures, must make a difference; otherwise, they cannot live. But unlike other creatures, humans must make a choice as to the kind and scale of difference they make. If they choose to make too small a difference, they diminish their humanity. If they choose to make too great a difference, they diminish nature, and narrow their subsequent choices; ultimately, they diminish or destroy themselves. Nature, then, is not only our source but also our limit and measure.” IfsHumansKindHumanityChoicesDifferencesSourceCreaturesLimitsEnvironmentalScalesMaking A DifferenceSustainabilityDiminish Author:Wendell Berry

“I write about situations that are common, universal might be more correct, in which my characters are involved and from which only faith can redeem them, though often the actual manner of the redemption is not immediately clear. They sin, but there is no limit to God's mercy and because this is important, there is a difference between not confessing in fact, and the complacent and the pious may not realize it.” WritingMayImportantCharacterFactsMightRealizingDifferencesSinCommonSituationClearInvolvedLimitsMercyUniversalRedemptionPiousComplacentConfessing Book:Conversations with Graham Greene Source: Conversations with Graham Greene
