Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “The most vulnerable and yet most invincible thing is human vanity: indeed, its strength increases when it is wounded, and can ultimately grow to gigantic proportions.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Strength, strength alone, is honorable, the German nation clamors in its majesty. But since it is hard to muster strength so suddenly, they have to make do with boorishness.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “We meet I don’t say when
    But must bring to the meeting the maturest,
    The longest-saved-up, raciest, localest
    We have strength of reserve in us to bring.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
