Jacqueline Carey Quotes

Those that yield are not always weak

There are two kinds of weakness, that which breaks and that which bends.

Be soft, even if you stand to get squashed.

Sometimes you are strong, sometimes you are weak.

The soft and weak can overcome the hard and strong.

To be weak is miserable, Doing or suffering.

The strongest have their moments of fatigue.

Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.

You have to be resilient.

Think not that humility is weakness; it shall supply the marrow of strength to thy bones. Stoop and conquer; bow thyself and become invincible.

We all survive more than we think we can.

There is a strength of a quiet endurance as significant of courage as the most daring feats of prowess.

Resilience is distinct from mere survival, and more than mere endurance. Resilience is often endurance with direction.

Resilience can go an awful long way.

What is strong and rigid is snapped and laid low. What is flexible and soft will always prevail.

Quitting is unthinkable and pain is just weakness leaving the body

I've told you before and I'll tell you again. The strong survive and the weak disappear. We do not intend to disappear.

A gentleman can live through anything.

The first need of being is endurance; to endure with gladness if we can, with fortitude in any event.

Patience is the strength of the weak, impatience is the weakness of the strong.

Maybe weakness is a strength of a kind.

Weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win.

The stubbornest of wills Are soonest bended, as the hardest iron, O'er-heated in the fire to brittleness,Flies soonest into fragments, shivered through.

Life has a way of breaking even the strongest among us.
