Muscles/strength

Famous quotes containing the words muscles and/or strength:

    All of this,
    and the curious knee-cap,
    fitted above the wrought greaves,
    and the sharp muscles of your back
    which the tunic could not cover.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,
    Or others—that we are not always strong—
    That we are sometimes overborne with care—
    That we should ever weak or heartless be,
    Anxious or troubled—when with us is prayer,
    And joy and strength and courage are with Thee?
    Richard Chenevix Trench (1807–1886)
