You can't retire to weakness -- you've got to learn to control strength.

It's not that you should never love something so much that it can control you.
It's that you need to love something that much so you can never be controlled.
It's not a weakness.
It's your best strength.

Gentleness is not in any way 'weakness', it is 'great strength under control'.

When you fall, you may have the will to stand back up but you may not always possess the strength necessary to do so

Power over others is weakness disguised as strength.

Sometimes our greatest strength come from our weakness.
