Weak Hand

Famous quotes containing the words weak hand, weak and/or hand:

    Nothing that has ever been thought and said with a clear mind and pure ethical strength is totally in vain; even if it comes from a weak hand and is imperfectly formed, it inspires the ethical spirit to constantly renewed creation.

    O Kate, nice customs curtsy to great kings. Dear Kate, you
    and I cannot be confined within the weak list of a country’s
    fashion. We are the makers of manners, Kate.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Do not be discouraged, if in a thousand instances you find your kindness rejected and wronged, your good evil-spoken of, and the hand you extend for the relief of others, cast insultingly away; the benevolence which cannot outlive these trials of its purity and strength, is not like the self-sacrifice of him, who went about doing good.
    C., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 331-4 (July 1828)
