"You cannot always run from a weakness...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones.”

“I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.”

“If you would not be forgotten, do things worth remembering.”

“The mortal race is far too weak not to grow dizzy on unwonted brights.[Ger., Das sterbliche Geschlecht ist viel zu schwachIn ungewohnter Hohe nicht zu schwindeln.]”

“There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness.”

“Our nonviolence vis-а-vis the British Government has been the nonviolence of the weak.”

“All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.”

“I will not have the power of nonviolence to be underestimated in order to cover my limitations or weaknesses.”

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, the encountering may be the very experience which creates the vitality and the power to endure.”
