“Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.”

“Rudeness is a weak persons imitation of strength.”

“It has often been said that power corrupts. But it is perhaps equally important to realize that weakness, too, corrupts. Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance, and suspicion are the faults of weakness. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from their sense of inadequacy and impotence. We cannot win the weak by sharing our wealth with them. They feel our generosity as oppression.”

“When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.”

“The weakness of a soul is proportionate to the number of truths that must be kept from it.”

“It still holds true that man is most uniquely human when he turns obstacles into opportunities.”

“To a man utterly without a sense of belonging, mere life is all that matters. It is the only reality in an eternity of nothingness, and he clings to it with shameless despair.”
