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)

    “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)

    “Pater: too much graceful drapery obscures the strength of the body beneath.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
