Weak

Famous quotes containing the word weak:

“If with light head erect I sing,
Though all the muses lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and shallow as its source.

But if with bended neck I grope,
Listening behind me for my wit,
With faith superior to hope,
More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“After all, one knows one’s weak points so well, that it’s rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them & invent others.”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

“The weak and misbegotten shall perish: first principle of our brotherly love. And they shall be given every assistance.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
