Top Strong People Being Weak Quotes

Strong People Being Weak Quotes By Kent Nerburn

But I knew in my heart I was only half a warrior. I was acting tough and strong, but that ain't the same as being a warrior. A real warrior serves the people. A real warrior protects the weak. A real warrior helps the elders. "I was serving the country, but the country didn't mean a damn thing to me. The land, yeah. The country, no. As far as the people - my people - I wasn't there for them. I was just doing what I learned in boarding school - being hard and following rules." He — Kent Nerburn

Strong People Being Weak Quotes By Perry Moore

I had strict rules for looking at porn. First off, I wasn't allowed to think about suicide after I looked at it.

The closer I got to eighteen the more I had to rethink that solution. — Perry Moore

Strong People Being Weak Quotes By Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

On the job people feel skillful and challenged, and therefore feel more happy, strong, creative, and satisfied. In their free time people feel that there is generally not much to do and their skills are not being used, and therefore they tend to feel more sad, weak, dull, and dissatisfied. Yet they would like to work less and spend more time in leisure.
What does this contradictory pattern mean? There are several possible explanations, but one conclusion seems inevitable: when it comes to work, people do not heed the evidence of their senses. They disregard the quality of immediate experience, and base their motivation instead on the strongly rooted cultural stereotype of what work is supposed to be like. They think of it as an imposition, a constraint, an infringement of their freedom, and therefore something to be avoided as much as possible. — Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Strong People Being Weak Quotes By Colleen Gleason

Strong People Being Weak Quotes By J. Gresham Machen

In time of war, our attention is called so exclusively to the sins of other people that we are sometimes inclined to forget our own sins. Attention to the sins of other people is, indeed, sometimes necessary. It is quite right to be indignant against any oppression of the weak which is being carried on by the strong. But such a habit of mind, if made permanent, if carried over into the days of peace, has its dangers. It joins forces with the collectivism of the modern state to obscure the individual, personal character of guilt. If John Smith beats his wife nowadays, no one is so old-fashioned as to blame John Smith for it. On the contrary, it is said, John Smith is evidently the victim of some more of that Bolshevistic propaganda; Congress ought to be called in extra session in order to take up the case of John Smith in an alien and sedition law. — J. Gresham Machen

Strong People Being Weak Quotes By Anne Sexton

Some ghosts are women,
neither abstract nor pale,
their breasts as limp as killed fish.
Not witches, but ghosts
who come, moving their useless arms
like forsaken servants.
Not all ghosts are women,
I have seen others;
fat, white-bellied men,
wearing their genitals like old rags.
Not devils, but ghosts.
This one thumps barefoot, lurching
above my bed.
But that isn't all.
Some ghosts are children.
Not angels, but ghosts;
curling like pink tea cups
on any pillow, or kicking,
showing their innocent bottoms, wailing
for Lucifer. — Anne Sexton

Strong People Being Weak Quotes By Summer Wigmore

Weak, said some part of her, but it wasn't true. She was strong, and she always had been; she was the kind of strong that came with being gentle, being kind even when people didn't deserve it because if she wasn't kind to them then who would be? That was a much better kind of strong than brute strength. — Summer Wigmore

Strong People Being Weak Quotes By Lauren Jackson

People come out to rough me up because they think I'm not going to play well. And maybe when I was in my teen years it worked well. But I'm used to it now. — Lauren Jackson
