Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “Give him the darkest inch your shelf allows,
    Hide him in lonely garrets, if you will,—
    But his hard, human pulse is throbbing still
    With the sure strength that fearless truth endows.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    “Women may fall when there’s no strength in men.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The bitterest creature under heaven is the wife who discovers that her husband’s bravery is only bravado, that his strength is only a uniform, that his power is but a gun in the hands of a fool.”
    —Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
