The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone.
HENRIK IBSEN, An Enemy of the People
Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm.
HAVELOCK ELLIS, as quoted in the Concise Columbia Dictionary of Quotations
Few men during their lifetime come anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.
RICHARD E. BYRD, Alone
As long as I fear my weakness, I am stronger than when I trust my strength.
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up ... discovering we have the strength to stare it down.
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, You Learn by Living
That which does not kill me makes me stronger.
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE, Twilight of the Idols
- My strength is as the strength of ten,
- Because my heart is pure.
ALFRED TENNYSON, Sir Galahad
Thou shalt not only fly, but also take others on thy wings; for thy strength is given thee wherewith to help the weak.
- Though cares and sorrows e'er must come,
- Though heart be rent,
- I know that God will give me strength,
- When mine is spent.
ARDELIA COTTON BARTON, "The Peace That Passeth Understanding"
It is the moment when our resolution seems about to become irrevocable--when the fatal iron gates are about to close upon us--that tests our strength. Then, after hours of clear reasoning and firm conviction, we snatch at any sophistry that will nullify our long struggles, and bring us the defeat that we love better than victory.
GEORGE ELIOT, The Mill on the Floss
