Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    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)

    The storm is over, the land hushes to rest:
    The tyrannous wind, its strength fordone,
    Is fallen back in the west
    Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    We all have strength enough to bear the misfortunes of others.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
