Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “If thought is life
    And strength & breath,
    And the want
    Of thought is death;

    Then am I
    A happy fly,
    If I live,
    Or if I die.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “Now I see our lances are but straws,
    Our strength as weak, our weakness past compare,
    That seeming to be most which we indeed least are.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The same strength of character which helps a man resist love, helps to make it more violent and lasting too. People of unsettled minds are always driven about with passions, but never absolutely filled with any.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
