Famous quotes containing the word strength:
“Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,
Or othersthat we are not always strong
That we are sometimes overborne with care
That we should ever weak or heartless be,
Anxious or troubledwhen with us is prayer,
And joy and strength and courage are with Thee?”

“So immense are the claims on a mother, physical claims on her bodily and brain vigor, and moral claims on her heart and thoughts, that she cannot ... meet them all and find any large margin beyond for other cares and work. She serves the community in the very best and highest way it is possible to do, by giving birth to healthy children, whose physical strength has not been defrauded, and to whose moral and mental nature she can give the whole of her thoughts.”
—Frances Power Cobbe (18221904)
“Women may fall when theres no strength in men.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
