Oh, it is excellent to have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Measure for Measure
Strength, if not used to protect, is but weakness.
The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone.
HENRIK IBSEN, An Enemy of the People
Strength comes from solitude, a waiting, a communion with the best in us, which is at one with the divine spark.
ELBERT HUBBARD, The American Bible
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"
Never be afraid to expose a weakness in yourself. Exposing a weakness is the beginning of strength.
ROBERT ANTHONY, Beyond Positive Thinking
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
One test of strength is the ability to take defeat graciously.
As our heart summons our strength, our wisdom must direct it.
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, state of the Union Address, Feb. 2, 1953
The strongest may have need of more strength.
We acquire the strength we have overcome.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON, The Conduct of Life
