Weakness

How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete

An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick

Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice

A shoe too large trips one up

The majority of husbands remind me of an orangutan trying to play the violin

A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband

Without sunshine a flower cannot live. Even a marriage can’t live

Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened

She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness

All diseases run into one, old age

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age

Information's pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues

The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind; the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity

To err is human; to forgive, divine

Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues

Men have as exaggerated an idea of their rights as women have of their wrongs

Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated

People who keep dogs are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves
