In the book, America had already been weakened by bio terror plagues before waves of selfish violence took down the rest. But the real enemy was the kind of male human being who nurses fantasies of violent glory at the expense of his fellow citizens.

Even just a little bit of praise can weaken you.

A puny body weakens the soul.

I always tell my clients to be tough, to be strong. Never weaken yourself. I believe God favors only strong persons.

I think one of the great historical contributions of science is to weaken the hold of religion. That's a good thing.

When younger writers and poets, musicians and painters are weakened by a stemming of funds, they come to me saddened, not as full of dreams and excitement and ideas. I am then weakened and diminished, and made less rich.

In a culture fueled by burnout, a culture that has run itself down, our national resilience becomes compromised.

The privatization plan weakens Social Security and threatens our economic security by creating trillions of dollars in new debt.

Largely this is a class thing - writers tend to be cosseted little middle-class kiddies who think that the world owes them a royalty cheque.

The values of the Left cripple human beings, weaken cities, make it difficult for us to in fact survive as a country.

I have always marveled that so many religions exact such revenge against dissenters. It only weakens the appeal of their faith and contradicts any claims they might have made that 'all religions are basically the same.' If all religions were indeed the same, why not let someone be 'converted' to another religion?

We must confront persecution faced by many Christian communities and the intolerance that plagues us. We must overcome anti-Semitism and the prejudice that divides us. We must defeat Islamophobia and the fears that weaken us.

Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you.
