Weak Hand

Famous quotes containing the words weak and/or hand:

“Chile consents to do all we can reasonably demand. My regret is that our Government blustered and bullied. President [Benjamin] Harrison argued in his message like a prosecutor—made the most of the case against our weak sister. Forbearance, charity, friendship, arbitration should have been in our words and thoughts.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“Far off, men swell, bully, and threaten; bring them hand to hand, and they are feeble folk.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
