True Strength

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or strength:

    If ever thou shalt love,
    In the sweet pangs of it remember me;
    For such as I am, all true lovers are,
    Unstaid and skittish in all motions else
    Save in the constant image of the creature
    That is beloved.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,
    Or others—that we are not always strong—
    That we are sometimes overborne with care—
    That we should ever weak or heartless be,
    Anxious or troubled—when with us is prayer,
    And joy and strength and courage are with Thee?
    Richard Chenevix Trench (1807–1886)
