Famous quotes containing the word strength:

    Egotism is a kind of buckram that gives momentary strength and concentration to men, and seems to be much used in Nature for fabrics in which local and spasmodic energy is required.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Give him the darkest inch your shelf allows,
    Hide him in lonely garrets, if you will,—
    But his hard, human pulse is throbbing still
    With the sure strength that fearless truth endows.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Consider first the nature of the business in hand; then examine thy own nature, whether thou hast strength to undertake it.
    Epictetus (c. 50–120)
