Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “I realized that, while I would never be my mother nor have her life, the lesson she had left me was that it was possible to love and care for a man and still have at your core a strength so great that you never even needed to put it on display.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “Women may fall when there’s no strength in men.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “... there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty, or death; if I could not have one, I would take de oder; for no man should take me alive; I should fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted, and when de time came for me to go, de Lord would let dem take me.”
    —Harriet Tubman (c. 1820–1913)
