Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “Atheism shows strength of mind, but only to a certain degree.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “Curse of the orchard,
    Blemish on the land’s fair countenance,
    I have grown strong for strength denied, for struggle
    In hostile woods. I keep alive by being the troublesome,
    Indestructible
    Stinkweed of truth.”
    —Naomi Long Madgett (b. 1923)

    “Will power is only the tensile strength of one’s own disposition. One cannot increase it by a single ounce.”
    —Cesare Pavese (1908–1950)
