“It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self.” MaySelfFactsLostFearBitsEmotionalPrideEqualLosingWeaknessEmptyOppositesIndependenceDesertSelfishnessMaskCowardFearfulIntimidatedWithout LoveCowardlyTentsPersonificationBarricadesPolar OppositesAfraid To LoveLove Strength Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“I think Democrats are always challenged to have a unified message, and it's in part because our strength is our diversity as a party, but our weakness is also the fact that because we're so diverse, we have a hard time getting on one page on message.” ThinkingHardFactsPartyDiversityMessagesPagesWeaknessDemocratHard TimesDiverseUnified Author:Martin Heinrich
“It may well happen that what is in itself the more certain on account of the weakness of our intelligence, which is dazzled by the clearest objects of nature; as the owl is dazzled by the light of the sun. Hence the fact that some happen to doubt about articles of faith is not due to the uncertain nature of the truths, but to the weakness of human intelligence; yet the slenderest knowledge that may be obtained of the highest things is more desirable than the most certain knowledge obtained of lesser things.” HumansWellsMayFactsLightHappensChristianCertainSunDoubtObjectsHighestWeaknessAccountsDuesOrthodoxArticlesUncertainDesirableOrthodox ChristianOwlHuman IntelligenceCertain Knowledge Book:The Summa Theologica: Complete Edition Source: The Summa Theologica: Complete Edition
“You know, when I was in college, there was a big debate: Do unions raise wages? Well, with regard to industrial unions, there were arguments back and forth -- international competition. It is now clear, I think, that whether or not you think unions raised wages 50 years ago, the absence of unions and their weakness that is inflicted by anti-union public policy depresses wages. The fact is that people who are not represented, in the service industries in particular, are the victims of policies which depress their wages.” PeopleThinkingKnowsYearsWellsFactsBigsClearPolicyCollegeParticularIndustryWeaknessYears AgoArgumentRegardRaisesVictimCompetitionUnionsRaisedInternationalAbsenceDebateDepressingWagesBack And ForthPublic PolicyService Industry Author:Barney Frank
