Weak Strong

Famous quotes containing the words weak and/or strong:

    Brave people add up to an aristocracy. The democracy of thou-shalt-not is bound to be a collection of weak men.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?
    Ernest Renan (1823–1892)
