Weaknesses Quotes (page 26)

Alice Malloy had dark, stringy hair, and even her husband, who loved her more than he knew, was sometimes reminded by her lean face of a tenement doorway on a rainy day, for her countenance was long, vacant, and weakly lighted, a passage for the gentle transports and miseries of the poor. John Cheever
I had to ride slow because I was taking my guerrilla route, the one I follow when I assume that everyone in a car is out to get me. My nighttime attitude is, anyone can run you down and get away with it. Why give some drunk the chance to plaster me against a car? That's why I don't even own a bike light, or one of those godawful reflective suits. Because if you've put yourself in a position where someone has to see you in order for you to be safe--to see you, and to give a fuck--you've... Neal Stephenson
The heart was a weak, changeable thing, bent on nothing but love, and there could be no more fatal mistake than to make it your master. Reason must be in charge. It comforted you for the heart's foolishness, it sang mocking songs about love, derided it as a whim of nature, transient as flowers. So why did she still keep following her heart? Cornelia Funke
And some small gnarled place inside me hated her for her weakness, for her neglect, for the months she had put us through. I had taken a step back from my mother, put up a wall to protect myself from needing her, and nothing was ever the same between us again. Suzanne Collins
It was sort of the pattern to my life - I'd never been strong enough to deal with the things outside my control, to attack the enemies or outrun them. To avoid the pain. Always human and weak, the only thing I'd ever been able to do was keep going. Endure. Survive. Stephenie Meyer
Charlaine Harris quote: "I often cried when I got angry; I hated that. Crying just made..."
I often cried when I got angry; I hated that. Crying just made you look weak, no matter what triggered it. Charlaine Harris
Want of exercise was beginning to affect his health and to give him the weak and excitable character of a young German student. Stendhal
Lao Tzu quote: "The hard and mighty lie beneath the ground. While the tender..."
The hard and mighty lie beneath the ground. While the tender and weak dance on the breeze above. Lao Tzu
Woody Allen quote: "Love is too weak a word for what I feel - I luuurve you, you..."
Love is too weak a word for what I feel - I luuurve you, you know, I loave you, I luff you, two F's, yes. Woody Allen
Edmund Burke quote: "Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength."
Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength. Edmund Burke
As with husbands and wives, so with many fathers and daughters, and so with some sons and mothers: the man will himself be cross in public and think nothing of it, nor will he greatly mind a little crossness on the part of the woman; but let her show agitation before any spectator, he is instantly reduced to a coward's slavery. Women understand that ancient weakness, of course; for it is one of their most important means of defense, but can be used ignobly. Booth Tarkington
Strong Mercy: My desires are many and my cry is pitiful, but ever didst thou save me by hard refusals; and this strong mercy has been wrought into my life through and through. Day by day thou art making me worthy of the simple, great gifts that thou gavest to me unasked---this sky and the light, this body and the life and the mind---saving me from perils of overmuch desire. There are times when I languidly linger and times when I awaken and hurry in search of my goal; but cruelly thou hidest... Rabindranath Tagore
Swami Vivekananda quote: "Anything that brings spiritual, mental, or physical weakness,..."
Anything that brings spiritual, mental, or physical weakness, touch it not with the toes of your feet. Swami Vivekananda
It is quite as difficult to fit one's practice to one's precepts as to fit one's precepts to one's practice. Most people act in one way and preach in another. When the fact is brought to their notice, they assert that it is their weakness, and that their desire is to act up to their principles. That is pretence. People act according to their inclinations and adopt principles; because these are generally at variance with their inclinations they are ill-at-ease and unstable. But when they force... W. Somerset Maugham
I am the voice of the voiceless; Through me the dumb shall speak. Till the deaf world's ears be made to hear. The wrongs of the wordless weak. And I am my brothers keeper, And I will fight his fights; And speak the words for beast and bird. Till the world shall set things right. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
