Limits

I for one agree. Limits can often be desirable. Other phraseologies
I've used:
* It's hard to produce a music that really stretchs the limits if you don't

afford yourself any limits in the first place.
* Walls limit your movement, but they also give you a place to hang
pictures.
* Doing clever things with limited resources impresses people. It's hard
to
pinpoint cleverness in an effort made on infinite resources.
* It's certainly true that you need muscles to move, but even with the
strongest muscles you won't get anywhere without a skeletal framework for
those muscles to act upon.
