Summary

This quote suggests that while many imperfections or defects in a person can be rectified or improved upon, weak character is the one quality that is permanent and irreversible. It implies that when one lacks inner strength, determination, or moral principles, it becomes exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to correct or overcome this weakness. This serves as a reminder that developing and nurturing a strong character is essential since it is a fundamental aspect of one's identity that cannot easily be repaired or changed.
