Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “Sprung from the West,
    He drank the valorous youth of a new world.
    The strength of virgin forests braced his mind,
    The hush of spacious prairies stilled his soul.
    His words were oaks in acorns; and his thoughts
    Were roots that firmly gript the granite truth.”
    —Edwin Markham (1852–1940)

    “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)

    “We all have strength enough to bear the misfortunes of others.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
