know no bounds

Has no limits

To know no bounds is to be limitless or without restraint.

The phrase typically describes emotions or qualities that exceed normal limits: Her generosity knows no bounds, His ambition knew no bounds.

Almost always appears with abstract subjects—joy, enthusiasm, cruelty, greed—rather than physical things.
