Opposition Strength Multiplier

Famous quotes containing the words opposition and/or strength:

“A man with your experience in affairs must have seen cause to appreciate the futility of opposition to the moral sentiment. However feeble the sufferer and however great the oppressor, it is in the nature of things that the blow should recoil upon the aggressor. For God is in the sentiment, and it cannot be withstood.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The storm is over, the land hushes to rest:
The tyrannous wind, its strength fordone,
Is fallen back in the west”
