Yield Strengths

Famous quotes containing the words yield and/or strengths:

    If others surpass you in knowledge, in charm, in strength, in fortune, you have other causes to blame for it; but if you yield to them in stoutness of heart you have only yourself to blame.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    A man who has never lost himself in a cause bigger than himself has missed one of life’s mountaintop experiences. Only in losing himself does he find himself. Only then does he discover all the latent strengths he never knew he had and which otherwise would have remained dormant.
    Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
