Quote by Eric Hoffer
It is a talent of the weak to persuade themselves that they suffer

It is a talent of the weak to persuade themselves that they suffer for something when they suffer from something; that they are showing the way when they are running away; that they see the light when they feel the heat; that they are chosen when they are shunned. – Eric Hoffer
