Strong

Famous quotes containing the word strong:

“If I were as I once was, the strong hoofs crushing the sand and the shells,
Coming out of the sea as the dawn comes, a chaunt of love on my lips,
Not coughing, my head on my knees, and praying, and wroth with the bells,
I would leave no saint’s head on his body from Rachlin to Bera of ships.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“A strong tiger is no match for a pack of wolves.”
—Chinese proverb.

oh mother-eye, oh mother-eye, crush me in
the parent is as strong as a telephone pole.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
