Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “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)

    “Our poetry emulates the recent progress in military strategy: Our army’s strength is the foot soldiers.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “These are days when no one should rely unduly on his “competence.” Strength lies in improvisation. All the decisive blows are struck left-handed.”
