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)

“What greater reassurance can the weak have than that they are like anyone else?”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

“What the unpenetrating world call Humanity, is often no more than a weak mind pitying itself.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
