Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “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)

    “I am not yet born; O fill me
    With strength against those who would freeze my
    humanity, would dragoon me into a lethal automaton
    would make me a cog in a machine, a thing with
    one face, a thing,”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “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)
