A weak man in a corner is more dangerous than a strong man. (Inspector Miller)

A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.

A weak man has doubts before a decision; a strong man has them afterwards.

Man is fallible, but maybe men are less so.

Men are frail creatures, of course; one does not expect them to exhibit the steadfastness of women.

You can’t make a weak man strong by making a strong man weak

I don’t think of my fellow men as dangerous. I think of them as capable of occasional dangerous mistakes.

A great man is hard on himself, a weak man is hard on others.

Everybody thinks this is a tough man’s sport. This is not a tough man’s sport. This is a thinking man’s sport. A tough man is gonna get hurt real bad in this sport.

I'm afraid men are not always quite as clever as they think they are.

In order to be fully convinced of this, we must take an extensive view of the subject; and the first inquiry should be, what kind of beings men are? You and I admire the fable of Tristram Shandy more than the fable of the Bees, and agree with Butler rather than Hobbes. It is weakness rather than wickedness, which renders men unfit to be trusted with unlimited power.

Men are strong so long as they represent a strong idea,they become powerless when they oppose it.

Good and bad men are each less so than they seem.

Fear alone makes man weak. If you are afraid, your hands tremble, your feet falter, and your brain cannot tell hands and feet what to do.
