Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “I realized that, while I would never be my mother nor have her life, the lesson she had left me was that it was possible to love and care for a man and still have at your core a strength so great that you never even needed to put it on display.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “The strength of a man’s virtue must not be measured by his efforts, but by his ordinary life.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “Today, supremely, it behooves us to remember that a nation shall be saved by the power that sleeps in its own bosom; or by none; shall be renewed in hope, in confidence, in strength by waters welling up from its own sweet, perennial springs. Not from above; not by patronage of its aristocrats. The flower does not bear the root, but the root the flower.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
