As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.
Henry David Thoreau
We are all full of weakness and errors; let us mutually pardon each other our follies - it is the first law of nature.
Voltaire
Men know that women are an overmatch for them, and therefore they choose the weakest or the most ignorant. If they did not think so, they never could be afraid of women knowing as much as themselves.
Samuel Johnson
A coward is one who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.
Ambrose Bierce
You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
Robert Louis Stevenson
The weakest spot in any person is where they think themselves to be the wisest.
G. Emmons
There's nothing weak about beauty, child. The only weakness in it is if you think it means anything important.
Charlie Fletcher
I well understand your doing this, said the notary. A man of science can't be expected to burden himself with the practical details of existence. Charles felt soothed by these oily words: they flattered his weakness, making it look like preoccupation with lofty things.
Gustave Flaubert
It is the destiny of the weak to be devoured by the strong.
Otto von Bismarck
Sadness doesn't equal weakness, sweetheart. If anything, it shows the love you have inside of you, and nothing stronger in this world exists.
Aimee Carter
I begin to get a little acquainted with my own strength and weakness. Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works.
John Keats
It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.
Junius
They said love made you strong, but in Louise's opinion it made you weak. It corkscrewed into your heart and you couldn't get it out again, not without ripping your heart to pieces.
Kate Atkinson
Our weakness in the West is born of the fact of so-called objectivity. Objectivity does not exist. The word is a hypocrisy which is sustained by the lie that the truth stays in the middle. No, sir: Sometimes truth stays on one side only.
Oriana Fallaci
Given the ease with which health infuses life with meaning and purpose, it is shocking how swiftly illness steals away those certaintiesTime unused and only endured still vanishes, as if time itself is starving, and each day is swallowed whole, leaving no crumbs, no memory, no trace at all.
Elisabeth Tova Bailey
We must remember that possession of physical beauty can easily weaken the moral faculty.
Frank Tallis
Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view.
Walter Gilbert
Our strength grows out of our weaknesses
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The motive behind criticism often determines its validity. Those who care criticize where necessary. Those who envy criticize the moment they think that they have found a weak spot.
Criss Jami
?I will abide by my reason, because with all its weakness there is some chance of my getting at truth through it. We should therefore follow reasons, and also sympathise with those who do not come to any sort of belief, following reason.
