People who have no weaknesses are terrible; there is no way of taking advantage of them.
ANATOLE FRANCE, The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard
He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak.
The weak are the most treacherous of us all. They come to the strong and drain them. They are bottomless. They are insatiable. They are always parched and always bitter. They are everyone’s concern and like vampires they suck our life’s blood.
BETTE DAVIS, The Lonely Life
Weakness and ambivalence lead to war.
GEORGE H.W. BUSH, RNC acceptance speech, August 18, 1988
When imperialism feels weak, it resorts to brute force.
HUGO CHAVEZ, speech, Jan. 31, 2005
The concessions of the weak are the concessions of fear.
EDMUND BURKE, speech on conciliation with America
When you find your opponent's weak spot, hammer it.
I can't expose a human weakness on the stage unless I know it through having it myself.
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS, Forward to Sweet Bird of Youth
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours.
