Nothing builds authority up like silence, splendor of the strong and shelter of the weak.
--
Rien ne rehausse l'autorité mieux que le silence, splendeur des forts et refuge des faibles.

» Charles de Gaulle - all quotes »
America’s special strength lies not in frightening the weak and challenging the strong, but in strengthening the weak and illumining the strong.
Sri Chinmoy
The true purpose of the strong is to promote greater strength in the weak, and not to keep the weak in that state where they are at the mercy of the strong.
Christian D. Larson
But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.
Milan Kundera
Whereas the man of action binds his life to reason and its concepts so that he will not be swept away and lost, the scientific investigator builds his hut right next to the tower of science so that he will be able to work on it and to find shelter for himself beneath those bulwarks which presently exist. And he requires shelter, for there are frightful powers which continuously break in upon him, powers which oppose scientific "truth" with completely different kinds of "truths" which bear on their shields the most varied sorts of emblems.
Friedrich Nietzsche
