Weakness (n.) may be an invisible power that expresses its strength by weakness — a silken cord strong as an iron chain, like the chain that bound the Fenris Wolf, which had no existence at all.
Weakness (n.) can make a man indispensable as surely as power: cringing and begging, one can call another's superciliousness love.
Weakness (n.) and strength are reciprocal between man and God: the stronger a man is, the weaker God is in him; the weaker the man, the stronger God.
Weakness (n.) was greater in Moses than in the weakest Israelite, since even the weakest thinks he can do something and Moses knew he could do nothing.
Weakness (n.) that is absolute makes one need God absolutely; a stronger, less religious man would claim the work and gather friends and godfathers.
