I always say that non-violence is not the weapon of the weak. It is the weapon of the strong.

Betty Williams

... ages in which the dominant weapon is expensive or difficult to make will tend to be ages of despotism, whereas when the dominant weapon is cheap and simple, the common people have a chance... A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon -- so long as there is no answer to it -- gives claws to the weak.

George Orwell

The thing that impressed me then as now about New York… was the sharp, and at the same time immense, contrast it showed between the dull and the shrewd, the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor, the wise and the ignorant… the strong, or those who ultimately dominated, were so very strong, and the weak so very, very weak - and so very, very many.

Theodore Dreiser

Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon - so long as there is no answer to it - gives claws to the weak.

George Orwell

Terrorism is simply the weapon by which the weak engage the strong.

Ted Koppel

Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of fellowship.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

It turns out that strong typing does not eliminate the need for careful testing. And I have found in my work that the sorts of errors that strong type checking finds are no the errors I worry about.

Douglas Crockford

But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.

Milan Kundera

Ridicule is a weak weapon when pointed at a strong mind; but common people are cowards and dread an empty laugh.

Martin Farquhar Tupper

All truths are erroneous. This is the very essence of the dialectical process: today's truths become errors tomorrow; there is no final number. This truth (the only one) is for the strong alone. Weak-nerved minds insist on a finite universe, a last number; they need, in Nietzsche's words, "the crutches of certainty". The weak-nerved lack the strength to include themselves in the dialectic syllogism.

Yevgeny Zamyatin

Nonviolence is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest.

Mahatma Gandhi

The true purpose of the strong is to promote greater strength in the weak, and not to keep the weak in that state where they are at the mercy of the strong.

Christian D. Larson

Violence is the weapon of weak, non-violence that of the strong.

Mahatma Gandhi

The strong conquer the weak. The weak serve the strong and hope to become strong so they can conquer others who are weaker.

Frederick Lenz

(God) gives the weak a weapon for self-defense that the strong, despite his military and nuclear arsenals, can do nothing against. There are clerics who condemn this and even say that these are suicide operations that are not allowed in Islam.

Yusuf al-Qaradawi

Without my attempts in natural science, I should never have learned to know mankind such as it is. In nothing else can we so closely approach pure contemplation and thought, so closely observe the errors of the senses and of the understanding, the weak and strong points of character.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
