Famous quotes containing the words weak and/or verb:

    “Though much is taken, much abides; and though
    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are—
    One equal temper of heroic hearts,
    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “The word is the Verb, and the Verb is God.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
