Famous quotes containing the word strength:
“I am not afraid of the priests in the long-run. Scientific method is the white ant which will slowly but surely destroy their fortifications. And the importance of scientific method in modern practical life—always growing and increasing—is the guarantee for the gradual emancipation of the ignorant upper and lower classes, the former of whom especially are the strength of the priests.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Women may fall when there’s no strength in men.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“... the strength and pain
Of being young; that it can’t come again,
But is for others undiminished somewhere.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
