What men call love is a very small, restricted, feeble thing compared with this ineffable orgy, this divine prostitution of the soul giving itself entire, all its poetry and all its charity, to the unexpected as it comes along, to the stranger as he passes.
Charles Baudelaire
Image
Although I cannot believe that the individual survives the death of his body, feeble souls harbor such thought through fear or ridiculous egotism.
Albert Einstein
Image
We pulled them [ Bink & Gollie] out of our feeble little brains.
Alison McGhee
Image
The flames kindled on the Fourth of July, 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
As a general rule, people who flagrantly pretend to anything are the reverse of that which they pretend to. A man who sets up for a saint is sure to be a sinner and a man who boasts that he is a sinner is sure to have some feeble, maudlin, snivelling bit of saintship about him which is enough to make him a humbug.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Image
Atheism is the result of ignorance and pride of strong sense and feeble reasons of good eating and ill-living. It is the plague of society, the corrupter of manners, and the underminer of property.
Jeremy Collier
Image
Upon the profound discontent of the young in every country do I set my faith. I beg you, the young, to be discontented. I pray that you may rebel against what is wrong, not with feeble negative complaining but with strong positive assertion of what is right for all humanity.
Pearl S. Buck
Image
Strange and mysterious name to give to the spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!
Albert Pike
Image
Sanctions against polluters are feeble and out of date, and are rarely invoked
Ralph Nader
Image
Through the dark and stormy night Faith beholds a feeble light Up the blackness streaking Knowing God's own time is best, In a patient hope I rest For the full day-breaking!
John Greenleaf Whittier
Image
Excellent memories are often coupled with feeble judgments.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
I am not the law, but I represent justice so far as my feeble powers go.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
The descendants of Holy Roman Empire monarchies became feeble-minded in the twentieth century, and after World War I had been done in by the democracies some were kept on to entertain the tourists, like the one they have in England.
Ishmael Reed
Image
O how feeble is man's power, that if good fortune fall, cannot add another hour, nor a lost hour recall!
John Donne
Image
How do you stop longing for what you absolutely know you can't get? Which really means: How do you absolutely know you can't-and won't-get it, not ever? How do you pinch out that wisp of feeble, ruthless hope?
Leigh Newman
Image
Me, rule? Me, place the State under my law, when my feeble reason no longer rules even myself!
Jean Racine
Image
Love is kindled in a flame, and ardency is its life. Flame is the air which true Christian experience breathes. It feeds on fire it can withstand anything rather than a feeble flame but when the surrounding atmosphere is frigid or lukewarm, it dies, chilled and starved to its vitals. True prayer must be aflame.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The man who labors to please his neighbor for his good to edification has the mind that was in Christ. It is a sinner trying to help a sinner. Even a feeble, but kind and tender man, will effect more than a genius, who is rough and artificial.
Richard Cecil
Image
The beautiful seems right by force of beauty and the feeble wrong because of weakness.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Image
If there are atheists, who is to be blamed if not the mercenary tyrants of souls who, in revolting us against their swindles, compel some feeble spirits to deny the God whom these monsters dishonour?
Voltaire
Image
The legislator commands the future to be feeble will avail him nothing: it is for him to will what is good and to perpetuate it to make man what he desires to be: for the laws, working upon the social body, which is inert in itself, can produce either virtue or crime, civilized customs or savagery.
Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
Image
I have always thought of sophistication as rather a feeble substitute for decadence.
Christopher Hampton
Image
If the body be feeble, the mind will not be strong.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Human beings, in point of fact, are lonely by nature, and one should feel sorry for them and love them and mourn with them. It is certain that people would understand one another better and love one another more if they would admit to one another how lonely they were, how sad they were in their tormented, anxious longings and feeble hopes.
