Strong

Famous quotes containing the word strong:

    Through tattered clothes great vices do appear;
    Robes and furred gowns hide all. Place sin with gold,
    And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks:
    Arm it in rags, a pigmy’s straw does pierce it.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There is only one vice, which may be found in life with as strong features, and as high a colouring as needs be employed by any satyrist or comic poet; and that is AVARICE.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    And when a woman’s will is as strong as the man’s who wants to govern her, half her strength must be concealment.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
