Except for inductors. See: Tesla coils.
If you forget a snubbing diode on a large motor (which is very inductive), you'll likely see some fires on your PCB. Inductors (and inductive loads) will push current even if the other side doesn't want it (ex: even if the other side is a 10 Gig-ohm resistance, the current will continue and possibly spike the voltage to millions-of-volts and shoot lightning out to allow the inductor to keep pushing the current)
