Urges ... every man has urges. But the true measure of man is to admit them, to learn to control them. The Shield used to refer to themselves as the most dominant force in our universe. But that ain't the way I remember it. They fell victim to the faults of men. Their lust and greed and valor for glory, it led them right down in the pit, where they belong. Tonight, they'll burn for it. For I am no man. I am reborn. Our bond can never be broken, and our urges can never be satisfied.

Bray Wyatt

As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking.

James Allen

A strong man can handle a strong woman. A weak man will say she has an attitude problem

Boonaa Mohammed

You can’t make a weak man strong by making a strong man weak

Abraham Lincoln

Better to be a strong man with a weak point, than to be a weak man without a strong point. A diamond with a flaw is more valuable that a brick without a flaw.

William J. H. Boetcker

Conservatives - they say, 'Oh, Putin is a real leader, he's a true man, he stays firm on his position, he's not like this weak Obama.' And also they are very much wrong. Because Putin is not a strong man; he is actually a man that put himself into a corner, and he's fighting and biting from that corner, being very weak.

Ilya Ponomarev

My father never was and isn't a mean man. You know, he never was ruthless. And he succeeded in life without sticking it to anybody. And that's a great example for a man, a strong man, a man's man, to give to his children. You can succeed, you can be successful, without walking over somebody.

Maria Shriver

The morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised. I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.

Charles Handy

A weak man has doubts before a decision; a strong man has them afterwards.

Karl Kraus

A weak man in a corner is more dangerous than a strong man.

Agatha Christie

The strong man with the dagger is followed by the weak man with the sponge.

Lord Acton

We must relearn how to cry. A strong man cries; it is the weak man who holds back his tears.

Archie Fire Lame Deer

Every man is actually weak, and apparently strong. To himself, he seems weak; to others, formidable.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If we live truly, we shall see truly. It is as easy for the strong man to be strong, as it is for the weak to be weak.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Compromise" is so often used in a bad sense that it is difficult to remember that properly it merely describes the process of reaching an agreement. Naturally there are certain subjects on which no man can compromise. For instance, there must be no compromise under any circumstances with official corruption, and of course no man should hesitate to say as much.

Theodore Roosevelt

All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions. The man strongly possessed of an idea is the master of all who are uncertain or wavering. Clear, deep, living convictions rule the world.
