Weakness Quotes
-
How sometimes nature will betray its folly, Its tenderness, and make itself a pastime To harder bosoms!
William Shakespeare
-
Don’t you understand? You are Elder. When you take my role as Eldest, you must dedicate your whole life to this one idea: you are the caretaker of every single person on the ship. They are your responsibility. You can never show weakness in front of them: you are their strength. You can never let them see you in despair: you are their hope. You must always be everything to everyone on board.
Beth Revis

Sadness doesn't equal weakness, sweetheart. If anything, it shows the love you have inside of you, and nothing stronger in this world exists.
Aimee Carter
-
All through it, I have known myself to be quite undeserving. And yet I have had the weakness, and have still the weakness, to wish you to know with what a sudden mastery you kindled me, heap of ashes that I am, into fire- a fire, however, inseparable in its nature from myself, quickening nothing, lighting nothing, doing no service, idly burning away.
Charles Dickens
-
If I was going to give Matt Kenseth a piece of advice, I'd say use the s- out of him. Every time you get, run him hard, because that's his weakness.
Brad Keselowski
-
Ability and perseverance are the weapons of weakness.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli
-
Look at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation. It's not what they're not doing or should be doing that's the issue. The issue is your own chosen response to the situation and what you should be doing. If you start to think the problem is "out there," stop yourself. That thought is the problem.
Stephen Covey
-
Truly brilliant marketing happens when you take something most people think of as a weakness and reposition it so people think of it as a strength.
Reed Hastings
-
The younger and healthier a woman is and the more her new and glossy body seems destined for eternal freshness, the less useful is artifice; but the carnal weakness of this prey that man takes and its ominous deterioration always have to be hidden from him...In any case, the more traits and proportions of a woman seem contrived, the more she delighted the heart of man because she seemed to escape the metamorphosis of natural things. The result is this strange paradox that by desiring to grasp nature, but transfigured, in woman, man destines her to artifice.
Simone de Beauvoir
-
When we look through the lens of each others' weaknesses, we make others' strengths irrelevant and their weaknesses more evident.
Stephen Covey
-
I think it was a wake up call for everybody. Yeah, they could see that I had a weakness and a tendency to overindulge.
Rick Savage
Def Leppard
-
The curse which lies upon marriage is that too often the individuals are joined in their weakness rather than in their strength -each asking from the other instead of finding pleasure in giving. It is even more deceptive to dream of gaining through the child a plenitude, a warmth, a value, which one is unable to create for oneself; the child brings joy only to the woman who is capable of disinterestedly desiring the happiness of another, to one who without being wrapped up in self seeks to transcend her own existence.
Simone de Beauvoir
-
The only disease the alcoholics have is the disease of weakness and selfishness.
Cathy Lamb
-
Flying has changed how we imagine our planet, which we have seen whole from space, so that even the farthest nations are ecological neighbors. It has changed our ideas about time. When you can gird the earth at 1,000 m.p.h., how can you endure the tardiness of a plumber? Most of all, flying has changed our sense of our body, the personal space in which we live, now elastic and swift. I could be in Bombay for afternoon tea if I wished. My body isn't limited by its own weaknesses; it can rush through space.
Diane Ackerman
-
Every moment is an invitation to live out of your weakness or to live out of your strength.
Marianne Williamson
-
I don't have moments of weakness. I'm Rik Mayall.
