“Love you will find only where you may show yourself weak without provoking strength.”

“You couldn't have strength without weakness, you couldn't have light without dark, you couldn't have love without loss”

“You cannot find yourself in the past or future. The only place where you can find yourself is in the Now.”

“It is our weakness that calls forth the grace of God. You show your weakness, He gives us strength.”

“If you concern yourself with telling or showing people how interesting you are, you will at best provoke a temporary response of polite interest until even that gives way to annoyance. If you let people find it out for themselves, you become a real source of fascination.”

“Lord, may the pain be ours, And the weakness that it brings, But at least give us the strength, Of not showing it to anyone!”

“In darkness is where we truly find ourselves, in light we only find others and in others you cannot find yourself.”

“Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.”

“Love does not make you weak, because it is the source of all strength, but it makes you see the nothingness of the illusory strength on which you depended before you knew it.”

“Sometimes our strengths are also our weaknesses. Sometimes to be strong you have to first be weak. You have to share your burdens; you have to lean on other people while you face your problems and yourself.”
