Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “I came to love my rows, my beans, though so many more than I wanted. They attached me to the earth, and so I got strength like Antæus. But why should I raise them? Only Heaven knows.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ““You’ll have me over the cliff,” he exclaimed hardly ever yet putting out his strength against her.
    “And so I will, by the help of God. Now think of her! Now think of her!” And as she spoke she pressed him backwards towards his fall.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “My strength is as the strength of ten,
    Because my heart is pure.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
