One could draw up all different kinds of adversity depending on what your weakness is.
Robert Greene
Image
It is not the evil itself which is horrifying about our times – it is the way we not only tolerate evil, but have made a cult of positively worshipping weakness, depravity, rottenness and evil itself.
George Lincoln Rockwell
Image
In most writers, style is a welcome, an invitation, a letting down of the drawbridge between the artist and the world. Shaw had no time for such ruses. Unlike most of his countrymen, he abominated charm, which he regarded as evidence of chronic temperamental weakness.
Kenneth Tynan
Image
How will decent people in the region ever believe in peace if Arab terrorists interpret every gesture of peace as a display of weakness and then act accordingly?
Tom Lantos
Image
The heart itself is beyond control. That is its power, and its weakness.
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Image
If we were faultless, we should not be so much annoyed by the defects of those with whom we associate. If we were to acknowledge honestly that we have not virtue enough to bear patiently with our neighbor's weaknesses, we should show our own imperfection, and this alarms our vanity.
Francois Fenelon
Image
[T]he main evil of the present democratic institutions of the united states does not raise, as is often asserted in Europe, from their weakness, but from their irresistible strength. I am not so much alarmed at the excessive liberty which reigns in that country as at the inadequate securities which one finds there against tyranny.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Being nice should never be perceived as being weak. It's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of courtesy, manners, grace, a woman's ability to make everyone...feel at home, and it should never be construed as weakness.
Benazir Bhutto
Image
The wise man understands his weakness and seeks to find a lesson from it. The fool lets it control and destroy him.
Christie Golden
Image
Frequent punishments are always a sign of weakness or laziness on the part of a government.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Image
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 Trotsky
Image
I believe the most solemn duty of the American president is to protect the American people. If America shows uncertainty and weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch.
George W. Bush
Image
I can find no room in my cosmos for a deity save as a waste product of human weakness, the excrement of the imagination.
Norman Douglas
Image
...in his gambling, he had one besetting weakness -- faith in a system and this made his damnation certain.
Jack London
Image
Realism is a very sophisticated form of literature, a very grown-up one. And that may be its weakness. But fantasy seems to be eternal and omnipresent and always attractive to kids.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Never be afraid to expose a weakness in yourself. Exposing a weakness is the beginning of strength.
Robert Anthony
Image
If I have a weakness, it's probably ice cream. That's where I get lax, sloppy. I'll sneak into the refrigerator at night and take two or three bites and put it back. Butter pecan. Only two or three bites, but it shows.
Jack Nicklaus
Image
We have both a weak self and a strong self the two are completely different. If we allow our weak side to dominate, we will be defeated. The thought ,I am still young and have a lot of time, so I can relax and take life easy is a function of our own weakness.
Daisaku Ikeda
Image
Research shows that when we're under stress or facing a major obstacle, we tend to focus on our weaknesses and what we're afraid of.
Jane McGonigal
Image
Passions often produce their contraries: avarice sometimes leads to prodigality, and prodigality to avarice we are often obstinate through weakness and daring through timidity.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Politically, the weakness of the argument has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget very quickly that they chose evil.
Hannah Arendt
Image
When we pray for the Spirit's help ... we will simply fall down at the Lord's feet in our weakness. There we will find the victory and power that comes from His love.
Andy Murray
Image
A pleasant comedy, which paints the manners of the age, and exposes a faithful picture of nature, is a durable work, and is transmitted to the latest posterity. But a system, whether physical or metaphysical, commonly owes its success to its novelty and is no sooner canvassed with impartiality than its weakness is discovered.
David Hume
