Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    Concentration is the secret of strength in politics, in war, in trade, in short in all management of human affairs.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    To ask strength not to express itself as strength, not to be a will to dominate, a will to subjugate, a will to become master, a thirst for enemies and obstacles and triumphant celebrations, is just as absurd as to ask weakness to express itself as strength.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    I am not yet born; O fill me
    With strength against those who would freeze my
    humanity, would dragoon me into a lethal automaton
    would make me a cog in a machine, a thing with
    one face, a thing,
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
