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

It’s just like when you’ve got some coffee that’s too black, which means it’s too strong. What you do? You integrate it with cream; you make it weak. If you pour too much cream in, you won’t even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it’ll put you to sleep.

Malcolm X

I've never been able to get it straight about what these people who are worried about the trade deficit are worried about. When they say that we're buying too much from overseas, that we're sending too many dollars overseas to get all these goods and services they got, they're saying that the American dollar is too strong and that is hurting our economy. And the result of this will be that the American dollar will get too weak, and that will hurt our economy.

Lord Chesterfield

One thing worse than an America that is too strong, the world will learn, is an America that is too weak.

Michael Mandelbaum

It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak.

C. S. Lewis

China's government is so strong on investment, so strong on exporting, but they're too weak on domestic consumption.

Jack Ma

This is life...Not a peace treaty, not an idealistic dream, but a grim dance of death and survival. The strong live on while the weak--the ones too small or too foolish to fight back--die in agony and blood.

Dan Wells

If we don't be going strong, we're going weak, and we can't afford to go weak. We've got too many problems to do that.

Dr. John

For months it seemed that a revolution was certain. But instead, slavery seems more likely now. The working class no longer has the physical resistance for a revolution, and the Entente is too strong, and Russia is too weak.
