Famous quotes containing the word strength:
“Teach us to live our lives with purpose and with power
for visions of a better world and for decision’s hour;
To choose the way of life, reject the way of death,
until the radiant force of God fills mind and strength and breath.”
—Walter J. Mathams (19th–20th centuries)
“Women have seldom sufficient employment to silence their feelings; a round of little cares, or vain pursuits frittering away all strength of mind and organs, they become naturally only objects of sense.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“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)
