Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “... the strength and pain
    Of being young; that it can’t come again,
    But is for others undiminished somewhere.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “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)

    “If only the strength of the love that people feel when it is reciprocated could be as intense and obsessive as the love we feel when it is not; then marriages would be truly made in heaven.”
    —Ben Elton (b. 1959)
