Better to be a strong man with a weak point, than to be a weak man without a strong point. A diamond with a flaw is more valuable that a brick without a flaw.

Music was our wife, and we loved her. And we stayed with her, and we clothed her, and we put diamond rings on her hands.
Lionel Hampton
My boyfriend's idea of a lesson was to take me on a black diamond run in the middle of a hail storm and say, 'Go!' Ski patrol had to escort me to another lift to get me down the mountain. No, that wasn't humiliating, not at all.
Claudia Black
My teachers treated me as a diamond in the rough, someone who needed smoothing.
