Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    “In the mountains of truth you will never climb in vain: either you will already get further up today or you will exercise your strength so that you can climb higher tomorrow.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him.”
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    “Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,
    Or others—that we are not always strong—
    That we are sometimes overborne with care—
    That we should ever weak or heartless be,
    Anxious or troubled—when with us is prayer,
    And joy and strength and courage are with Thee?”
    —Richard Chenevix Trench (1807–1886)
