- Christine de Pizan99◆ I am tired of people saying that poor character is the only reason people do wrong things. Actually, circumstances cause people to act a certain way. It's from those circumstances that a person's attitude is affected followed by weakening of character. Not the reverse. If we had no faults of our own, we should not take so much pleasure in noticing those in others and judging their lives as either black or white, good or bad. We all live our lives in shades of gray.
- Shannon L. Alder99◆ I find I am much prouder of the victory I obtain over myself, when, in the very ardor of dispute, I make myself submit to my adversary's force of reason, than I am pleased with the victory I obtain over him through his weakness.
- Michel de Montaigne99◆ You are only as invincible as your smallest weakness, and those are tiny indeed - the length of a sleeping baby's eyelash, the span of a child's hand. Life turns on a dime, and - it turns out - so does one's conscience.
- Jodi Picoult99◆ I am struck by how sharing our weakness and difficulties is more nourishing to others than sharing our qualities and successes.
- Jean Vanier99◆ Life is not an easy matter…. You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.
- Leon Trotsky99◆ You are human and mortal; we are the sum of our weak moments and our strong.
- Mercedes Lackey99◆ Having an eye for beauty isn't the same thing as a weakness.
- Suzanne Collins99◆ Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and perceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak; and last some crisis shows what we have become.
- Brooke Foss Westcott99◆ It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self.
- Criss Jami99◆ You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.
- John Wooden99◆ Bullying builds character like nuclear waste creates superheroes. It's a rare occurrence and often does much more damage than endowment.
- Zack W. Van99◆ As one grows weaker one is less susceptible to suffering. There is less hurt because there is less to hurt.
- Jack London99◆ I do feel that I've managed to make something I could maybe call my world…over time…little by little. And when I'm inside it, to some extent, I feel kind of relieved. But the very fact I felt I had to make such a world probably means that I'm a weak person, that I bruise easily, don't you think? And in the eyes of society at large, that world of mine is a puny little thing. It's like a cardboard house: a puff of wind might carry it off somewhere.
- Haruki Murakami99◆ The weak can become strong in the presence of the bold.
- Vikrant Parsai99
