The remedy for weakness is not brooding over weakness, but thinking of strength.

Swami Vivekananda

Know that all sins and all evils can be summed up in that one word, weakness. It is weakness that is the motive power in all evil doing; it is weakness that makes men injure others; it is weakness that makes them manifest what they are not in reality. Let them know what they really are.
