Famous quotes containing the word strength:
“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)
“The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken. On a tragedy of that kind our national morality is duly silent.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Pater: too much graceful drapery obscures the strength of the body beneath.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
