Quote examples
Elif Batuman
American Author
The first modern novel was already a product, even an expression, of negative criticism: 'Don Quixote' contains a quite explicit critique of the chivalric romance and its insufficiency to account for the way real life feels when you get up in the morning in 17th-century Spain.
Quote examples
Donella Meadows
American Environmentalist
No one wants growth, constant expansion, physical swelling. Growth is not a human value; it's a means to the ends of sufficiency and security. Once we have enough, no one wants more, unless it is sold to us as a cheap substitute for something else, something non-material.
Quote examples
Maimonides
Spanish Philosopher
Do not imagine that what we have said of the insufficiency of our understanding and of its limited extent is an assertion founded only on the Bible: for philosophers likewise assert the same, and perfectly understand it,- without having regard to any religion or opinion.
Quote examples
Francesco Guicciardini
Italian Historian
Pay no heed to those who tell you that they have relinquished place and power of their own accord, and from their love of quiet. For almost always they have been brought to this retirement by their insufficiency and against their will.
Quote examples
Charlie Baker
American Politician

If you are apostles at all, you are apostles, not of men, nor by man. Your sufficiency is of God.
Quote examples
