Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “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)

    “If thought is life
    And strength & breath,
    And the want
    Of thought is death;

    Then am I
    A happy fly,
    If I live,
    Or if I die.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “When the shadow of death blots out my joy
    And erases the face of the sun
    Give me strength to endure, hope to believe
    That living and dying are one.”
    —William L. Wallace (20th century)
