Quote by William Shakespeare

Conceit in weakest bodies works the strongest.

Conceit in weakest bodies works the strongest.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals with the most physically weak or frail bodies often possess the most powerful and inflated sense of self-importance or conceit. It implies that physical weaknesses can drive some individuals to compensate by developing an overly self-centered or self-aggrandizing perspective. Despite their physical limitations, these individuals may exhibit the greatest display of pride or conceit. The quote serves as a reminder that one's physical condition does not necessarily dictate or correlate with the level of arrogance or self-centeredness one may possess.

It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
