| Audre Lorde | When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid. | 103 |

| Andie MacDowell | As a single mother of four, my mother taught me that you always want to show up strong for the moments that really matter with family, friends, and community. I now recognize how her strength helped shape the person I am today and the mother that I have become. | 103 |
| Christopher Reeve | I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. | 103 |
| Francois Rabelais | I place no hope in my strength, nor in my works: but all my confidence is in God my protector, who never abandons those who have put all their hope and thought in him. | 103 |
| Harry Reid | It has been my honor to support and work with President Barack Obama, a man who has brought courage and character to the presidency. President Obama's strength of character leads him to do the right thing, even when it isn't the easy thing. | 103 |
| Ian Mckellen | The strength of British theatre should be that these actors in their middle years know what they're doing and are good at it. Not rich, not famous, but making a living. | 103 |
| James E. Faust | Femininity is not just lipstick, stylish hairdos, and trendy clothes. It is the divine adornment of humanity. It finds expression in your qualities of your capacity to love, your spirituality, delicacy, radiance, sensitivity, creativity, charm, graciousness, gentleness, dignity, and quiet strength. | 103 |
| Jesse Ventura | Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business. | 103 |
| L. Lionel Kendrick | To gain strength in our struggles, we must have a positive perspective of the principles in the plan of salvation. We must realize that we have a personal Savior whom we can trust and turn to in our times of need. | 103 |
| Layne Staley | My bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and my talent are my title. | 103 |
| Richard J. Daley | The strength of the Democratic Party of Cook County is not something that just happened. | 103 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way. | 103 |
| Robert Peel | But after this natural burst of indignation, no man of sense, courage, or prudence will waste his time or his strength in retrospective reproaches or repinings. | 103 |
| Stanley A. McChrystal | Strength is leading when you just don't want to lead. | 103 |
| Stokely Carmichael | An organization which claims to be working for the needs of a community - as SNCC does - must work to provide that community with a position of strength from which to make its voice heard. This is the significance of black power beyond the slogan. | 103 |
| Tecumseh | A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong. | 103 |
| Young Buck | The people I used to have around me from Nashville was showing love to the Cash Money clique on the strength of Buck trying to make it; making sure Buck gets to where he gots to go. | 103 |
| Aisha Tyler | The only concept or experience or core belief that I can attribute my other-ness to is that I just started out a weirdo and I stayed a weirdo. And it took me a long time to embrace my outsidership and see it as a strength rather than a weakness. | 103 |
| Anne Graham Lotz | Just like you need to strengthen your core physically with exercise, you also need to strength your core spiritually. | 103 |
| Beverly Sills | There is a growing strength in women but it's in the forehead, not the forearm. | 103 |
| Bryan Batt | I'm in love with red. I think it's such a passionate color. Every flag of every country pretty much has red it it. It's power, there's no fence sitting with red. Either you love it or you don't. I think its blood and strength and life. I do love red. I love all colors. Great shades of blue, you find them in nature. They're all magic. | 103 |
| Charlotte Rampling | I know I have great inner strength; I always have. I can blank things out, cut people out, and I know that I can go and live in a cave on my own if necessary. | 103 |
| China Machado | If there's one thing I could attribute my strength to, I would say it's the gift of laughter, which I inherited from my mother's side. | 103 |
| Chris Gibson | I believe that the strength in America is individual families and communities. | 103 |

| Dusty Baker | I love sharing my knowledge of hitting with others. Now coaches and players at all levels can learn my systematic approach to hitting a baseball with more consistency, mental strength and accuracy. | 103 |
| Elisabeth Shue | I understand now that the vulnerability I've always felt is the greatest strength a person can have. You can't experience life without feeling life. What I've learned is that being vulnerable to somebody you love is not a weakness, it's a strength. | 103 |
| George Papandreou | The fact that we're going through a crisis is an opportunity for Europe to be more coordinated and more integrated. We're actually talking about a European Monetary Fund or euro bonds, about guarantees for countries, about economic governance in the European Union. That shows the strength of Europe. | 103 |
| Mark McGwire | The only reason I took steroids was for my health purposes. I did not take steroids to get any gain for any strength purposes. | 103 |
| Mitch Daniels | If our nation goes over a financial Niagara, we won't have much strength and, eventually, we won't have peace. We are currently borrowing the entire defense budget from foreign investors. Within a few years, we will be spending more on interest payments than on national security. That is not, as our military friends say, a 'robust strategy.' | 103 |
| Nina Bawden | I like writing for children. It seems to me that most people underestimate their understanding and the strength of their feelings and in my books for them I try to put this right. | 103 |
| Placido Domingo | My strength is my enthusiasm. | 103 |
| Tony Kushner | There's a kind of a fundamental irresponsibility in playwriting, and the strength of playwriting comes from that irresponsibility. | 103 |
| William Cavendish | Use gentle means before you come to extremity, and whatever lesson you work him, and never take above half his strength, nor ride him till he is weary, but a little at a time and often. | 103 |
| William Gurnall | Humble souls are fearful of their own strength. | 103 |
| Alain Badiou | Evil is the moment when I lack the strength to be true to the Good that compels me. | 103 |

| Etty Hillesum | I think what weakens people most is fear of wasting their strength. | 103 |
| Francis Jeffrey | There is nothing respecting which a man may be so long unconscious as of the extent and strength of his prejudices. | 103 |
| Henry Villard | Senator Douglas was very small, not over four and a half feet height, and there was a noticeable disproportion between the long trunk of his body and his short legs. His chest was broad and indicated great strength of lungs. | 103 |
| Ted Olson | You have to take strength from the people that love you and the people that love Barbara and the huge number of expressions of sympathy and compassion and support. That has been extremely moving. | 103 |
| Walt Kelly | Every burden is a blessing. | 103 |
| Andy Stern | And I think we understand we cannot make social change for all workers until we have enough strength, membership strength, and at the same time having membership strength and only making change for a limited group of workers is not what our country really needs for people that work. | 103 |
| Carson Kressley | It's really important to share the idea that being different might feel like a problem at the time, but ultimately diversity is a strength. | 103 |
| Donald Wuerl | The great American tradition is one of pluralism, not exclusive secularism. The strength of our country is reflected in the contributions that we all make to the common good. | 103 |
| Guy Verhofstadt | Where do you find the strength to brave a barrage of enemy fire and to bring your wounded friends to safety at great risk to your own life? Conviction. | 103 |
| Jose Canseco | These individuals on steroids, does it enhance their career, does it give them a little more strength, a little more stamina, a little more psychological edge? Absolutely. How do you determine what - what their stats would be without steroids? It's impossible to tell. | 103 |
| Kurt Huber | I hope to God that the inner strength that will vindicate my deeds will in good time spring forth from my own people. I have done as I had to on the prompting of my inner voice. | 103 |
| Robert Shea | The key element in tragedy is that heroes and heroines are destroyed by that which appears to be their greatest strength. | 103 |
| Ruby Dee | The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within - strength, courage, dignity. | 103 |
| Samantha Stosur | Flexibility is crucial to my fitness. Incorporating a good warm-up and cool-down into every session decreases my chances of injury. I use both dynamic and static stretching in my training. I've starting doing a few yoga sessions which incorporates muscle strength and flexibility. | 103 |
| Alannah Myles | I give myself strength by staying away from any music. | 103 |
| Christopher McDougall | Endurance, after all, is the only reason we even exist. We think of ourselves as nature's deadliest animals, but the truth is, a naked human is the biggest wimp in the wild. We have no fangs, no claws, no strength, and no speed. | 103 |
| Mary Lynn Rajskub | The more I get to do this character, the more I realize that she's not just annoying. It's that her strength is not interacting with people socially. She just doesn't have time because she has so much going on in her brain. | 103 |
| Billy Evans | In all probability, when the 1919 series is over, a diagnosis of it will show that the final result was brought about by some unusual situation or freak happening that was given no consideration when the relative strength of the two clubs was considered. | 103 |
| Charles Atlas | Nobody picks on a strong man. | 103 |
| Steve Stoute | The diversity of America is a strength of the country, and I don't think that we use that. We don't talk about our strengths. I mean, having so many diverse people in this country from all aspects of all over the world, and we don't use that. I think we should talk about who we are - that melting pot that we've become. | 103 |
| Jim Doyle | As I've often said, Wisconsin's greatest strength continues to be the dedicated, hardworking people of our state. They go to work everyday, pay their taxes, and raise their kids with good, Midwestern values. | 103 |
| Jonathan Brown | I've completed the first part of my preparations without injury problems. My speed is good and I'm doing lots of volume for strength. | 103 |
| Margaret Keane | Stand up for your rights and be brave, and don't be intimidated. Read your Bible. That's really given me strength, and it will give you strength. Pray, and use God's name, Jehovah. And never tell a lie, ever. | 103 |
| Martha McSally | Before I became a fighter pilot, everyone said that women didn't have the physical strength. Well, I had just completed the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon. | 103 |
| Alfred Jarry | Blind and unwavering undisciplined at all times constitutes the real strength of all free men. | 103 |
| Jerry Stiller | We managed to hang in there. Today when people get married there's a tendency to run away when things get tough. There is a lot of strength in hanging together. | 103 |
| Matt Hasselbeck | Arm strength, I think, is a thing that's, like, incredibly overrated in the NFL. | 103 |
| Jennifer Chiaverini | Elizabeth Keckley was a woman of remarkable strength, courage, perseverance, and dignity. She was exceptionally talented, but also very diligent and ambitious, and together those qualities enabled her to deliver herself from slavery and become a successful businesswoman. | 103 |
| John George Nicolay | Lincoln's stature and strength, his intelligence and ambition - in short, all the elements which gave him popularity among men in New Salem, rendered him equally attractive to the fair sex of that village. | 103 |
| James Freeman Clarke | All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions. | 103 |
| Buddha | No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. | 104 |
| Anais Nin | I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. | 104 |
| Ernest Hemingway | The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. | 104 |
| Woodrow Wilson | The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it. | 104 |
| Samuel Johnson | If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance. | 104 |
| Ariel Sharon | I was born on a farm. My strength has nothing to do with political apparatus. I get my strength from nature, from flowers. | 104 |
| Betty Friedan | Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength. | 104 |
| Charles Stanley | We can be tired, weary and emotionally distraught, but after spending time alone with God, we find that He injects into our bodies energy, power and strength. | 104 |
| Ernest Shackleton | If I had not some strength of will I would make a first class drunkard. | 104 |

| Laurence Sterne | In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself. | 104 |
| LL Cool J | When adversity strikes, that's when you have to be the most calm. Take a step back, stay strong, stay grounded and press on. | 104 |
| Norman Foster | The most amazing lesson in aerodynamics I ever had was the day I climbed a thermal in a glider at the same time as an eagle. I witnessed, close up, effortlessness and lightness combined with strength, precision and determination. | 104 |
| Pope Paul VI | Liturgy is like a strong tree whose beauty is derived from the continuous renewal of its leaves, but whose strength comes from the old trunk, with solid roots in the ground. | 104 |
| Ricky Williams | I want to thank all my fans, teammates, coaches and supporters for the strength they've given me to overcome so much. | 104 |
| Vita Sackville-West | I worshipped dead men for their strength, forgetting I was strong. | 104 |
| William Blackstone | The Royal Navy of England hath ever been its greatest defense and ornament; it is its ancient and natural strength; the floating bulwark of the island. | 104 |
| Yvette Nicole Brown | Christ's strength is manifest in our weakness, so if we had everything together there would be no need for Him. | 104 |
| Anne Graham Lotz | When the storms of life come, if they come to me personally, to my family or to the world, I want to be strong enough to stand and be a strength to somebody else, be shelter for somebody else. | 104 |
| Bill Owens | Families are the tie that reminds us of yesterday, provide strength and support today, and give us hope for tomorrow. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, or well-managed, can provide what our families provide. | 104 |
| Charles Francis Richter | Intensity like signal strength will generally fall off with distance from the source, although it also depends on the local conditions and the pathway from the source to the point. | 104 |
| Daniel Nathans | The glimpses of human strength and frailty that a physician sees are with me still. | 104 |
| Donella Meadows | I know that war and mayhem run in our blood. I refuse to believe that they must dominate our lives. We humans are animals, too, but animals with amazing powers of rationality, morality, society. We can use our strength and courage not to savage each other, but to defend our highest purposes. | 104 |
| Esther Williams | Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool. | 104 |
| Everett Dirksen | When all is said and done, the real citadel of strength of any community is in the hearts and minds and desires of those who dwell there. | 104 |
| Friedrich List | But the general welfare must restrict and regulate the exertions of the individuals, as the individuals must derive a supply of their strength from social power. | 104 |
| Lea Thompson | 'Howard The Duck' has a lot of fans, and usually when they come up to me, I just think they're the coolest. Because it takes a lot of strength, a lot of perseverance to love 'Howard the Duck.' | 104 |
| Lisa Edelstein | Exercise helps me with stress. It changes your brain chemistry. I turn to Ashtanga yoga when I feel the need to relax. I love it, but it's not right for everybody. It's taught to you a little bit at a time, according to your body type and your strength. That keeps things challenging. | 104 |
| Matthew Perry | A lot of people think that addiction is a choice. A lot of people think it's a matter of will. That has not been my experience. I don't find it to have anything to do with strength. | 104 |
| Melanie Griffith | I don't walk around with fear. I walk around with strength. I believe in cause and effect. | 104 |
| Sandra Lee | I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength. | 104 |
| William Shenstone | Zealous men are ever displaying to you the strength of their belief, while judicious men are showing you the grounds of it. | 104 |
| Wladimir Klitschko | Mental strength is really important because you either win or lose in your mind. And I'm not solely talking about sporting matches, boxing events - anything you do, you do it first with your mental strength. And you can actually train and develop it, and I am responsible for what I'm saying because I have experience with that. | 104 |
| A. N. Wilson | Brain power improves by brain use, just as our bodily strength grows with exercise. And there is no doubt that a large proportion of the female population, from school days to late middle age, now have very complicated lives indeed. | 104 |
| Agnes Smedley | Now, being a girl, I was ashamed of my body and my lack of strength. So I tried to be a man. I shot, rode, jumped, and took part in all the fights of the boys. | 104 |
| Alana Stewart | No matter what kind of challenges or difficulties or painful situations you go through in your life, we all have something deep within us that we can reach down and find the inner strength to get through them. | 104 |
| Alex Campbell | From this process has emerged a parallel process of translating traditional working and living values into a new political and economic power - a power increasingly based upon the strength of money and those material things money can purchase. | 104 |
| Andrei Sakharov | Both now and for always, I intend to hold fast to my belief in the hidden strength of the human spirit. | 104 |
| Conrad Black | Guerrilla wars, and even more so terrorist assaults, are conducted only by forces with insufficient strength to carry out a real war. | 104 |
| Dante Hall | If I had the hand strength to sign autographs for everybody in Kansas City, I would... but its just impossible to get to everyone. | 104 |
| George A. Smith | God is stronger than their strength, more loving than their uttermost love, and in so far as they have loved and sacrificed themselves for others, they have obtained the infallible proof, that God too lives and loves and gives Himself away. | 104 |
| Jen Kirkman | Parents talk a lot about how much strength and dedication it takes to raise a child. I think it also takes a lot of strength and dedication to carve out a life that doesn't seem normal to anyone else. | 104 |
| Lauren London | The serenity prayer, 'God grant me the strength to accept...' That's a prayer that's actually in my car. I say it every day. | 104 |
| Lisa Scottoline | And when I look at my mother, I reflect on her strength and endurance. She's cranky sometimes, but she is lovable and loving. I'd be happy to be there at 86. | 104 |
| Norman Thomas | To us Americans much has been given; of us much is required. With all our faults and mistakes, it is our strength in support of the freedom our forefathers loved which has saved mankind from subjection to totalitarian power. | 104 |
| Pete Docter | In some ways, I feel like the strength of animation is in its simplicity and caricature, and in reduction. It's like an Al Hirschfeld caricature, where he'll use, like, three lines, and he'll capture the likeness of someone so strongly that it looks more like them than a photograph. I think animation has that same power of reduction. | 104 |
| Peter Blair Henry | Good economic policy requires not so much the bravado to implement drastic change as the strength and wisdom to make reasonable trade-offs over the many years it takes to transform a country's standard of living. | 104 |
| Philip Kaufman | To me, thoughts are fun and art is fun. The strength of our society should not be idle entertainments but the joy of pursuing ideas. | 104 |
| Rene Burri | I think that's the strength of photography - to decide the decisive moment, to click in the moment to come up with a picture that never comes back again. | 104 |
| Shelby Lynne | I like strength. I depend on my own. | 104 |
| Stephen Hunter | Now, I am about to be nailed as the man who disliked 'Howl's Moving Castle.' Lord, give me strength! Also, IT, please disconnect the e-mail thing. | 104 |
| Tom Rachman | The strength of fiction is not in reading about yourself, but in reading about other people. | 104 |
| Wilhelm Keitel | If this war is not fought with the greatest brutality against the bands both in the East and in the Balkans then in the foreseeable future the strength at our disposal will not be sufficient to be able to master this plague. | 104 |
| William Moulton Marston | Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. | 104 |
| Adriana Trigiani | I come from hardworking, determined people on both sides of my family... the kind who live with a hard reality from which much strength comes. | 104 |
| Arthur Scargill | All too often miners, and indeed other trade unionists, underestimate the economic strength they have. | 104 |
| Charles Kingsley | Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know. | 104 |
| Douglas Hurd | Margaret Thatcher was fearful of German unification because she believed that this would bring an immediate and formidable increase of economic strength to a Germany which was already the strongest economic partner in Europe. | 104 |
| Jai Courtney | I don't know if I'm an action star or if that's just how things are shaping up. I would hate to be boxed into that forever, but it's probably just a strength as far as my type goes, and I'm fine with that. | 104 |
| Karl Radek | Every social organisation which is rooted in life still lasts a long time, even after the conditions from which it drew its strength have changed in a manner unfavourable to it. | 104 |
| Sam Raimi | When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them. We see how they grow as human beings or gain qualities or show great qualities of strength and courage and with them, we grow in some small way. | 104 |
| Stanley Druckenmiller | Part of my advantage is that my strength is economic forecasting, but that only works in free markets, when markets are smarter than people. That's how I started. I watched the stock market, how equities reacted to change in levels of economic activity, and I could understand how price signals worked and how to forecast them. | 104 |
| Steven Cojocaru | Thank you to all for your prayers and good wishes. It gave me the strength to persevere and warmed my heart. | 104 |
| Alan Thicke | As a father, my first priority is to help my sons set and attain personal goals so they will develop self-confidence and individual strength. Engaging in regular fitness activities with my children helps me fulfill those responsibilities. | 104 |
| Antonio Gramsci | My practicality consists in this, in the knowledge that if you beat your head against the wall it is your head which breaks and not the wall - that is my strength, my only strength. | 104 |
| Edwin Booth | The best translations cannot convey to us the strength and exquisite delicacy of thought in its native garb, and he to whom such books are shut flounders about in outer darkness. | 104 |
| Matteo Renzi | Italy remained attached to conservatism. It had a political class that lived in the past and didn't build the future. The past is our strength, but it risks becoming our ruin if we walk with our heads turned backwards. | 104 |
| Patricia Neal | When you call upon a Thoroughbred, he gives you all the speed, strength of heart and sinew in him. When you call on a jackass, he kicks. | 104 |
| Stacy Keach | My strength as an actor is in the theater - I know that about myself. Some actors get onstage and vanish, but I'm much better there than I am on screen. | 104 |
| Jill Wagner | At the gym, I do full-body circuits with low weights and high repetitions, as well as four or five cardio intervals thrown into the mix. I put a lot of emphasis on core strength and flexibility training. I also do a lot of running in my free time. Anytime I can move my cardio outside in the sunshine, I do. | 104 |
| Joshua Lederberg | I get curious about new things. My real strength is going into a field that has not been investigated before, and finding new approaches to it. | 104 |
| Mickey Kaus | Usually I write about what I care about, which is a weakness but I think also a strength. | 104 |
| Rebecca Wells | I believe that we are given strength and help from a power much larger than ourselves. I believe if I humble myself that this power will come through me, and help me create work that is bigger than I would have ever been able to have done alone. | 104 |
| Dudley Moore | I certainly did feel inferior. Because of class. Because of strength. Because of height. I guess if I'd been able to hit somebody in the nose, I wouldn't have been a comic. | 104 |
| Jay Alan Sekulow | Our enemies, like the Grecian hero, have one vulnerable point. You have not touched it yet. What should have been their element of weakness has been suffered to remain an element of strength. | 104 |
| Susan Polis Schutz | Through my own struggles with depression, I discovered that knowledge, therapy, medication and education can provide the strength to get through it in one piece. | 104 |
| Miguel Indurain | My strength was that I am more balanced and calmer than most other riders. | 104 |
| Joseph J. Lhota | People should be respected for the strength of their convictions, and I also believe in freedom of expression. | 104 |
| Jill Greenberg | The still image continues to have a ton of strength. An image taken out of context from one fraction of a second to the next can tell a story, and if photographers are looking to tell a certain story, they can curate those slices of time to their advantage. | 104 |
| Joyce DiDonato | I think yoga builds strength, flexibility, and calming of the mind - which is never a bad thing. | 104 |
| John Abraham | My greatest strength as an actor is that I follow my director's brief completely. The film is always the director's visual baby. | 104 |
| Helen Keller | Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. | 105 |
| Lao Tzu | Silence is a source of great strength. | 105 |

| George Orwell | War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. | 105 |
| LeBron James | I like criticism. It makes you strong. | 105 |
| Michel Foucault | Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society. | 105 |
| Thomas Paine | I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. | 105 |
| Booker T. Washington | There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up. | 105 |
| Ani DiFranco | I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap. | 105 |
| Annie Besant | What, after all, is the object of education? To train the body in health, vigor and grace, so that it may express the emotions in beauty and the mind with accuracy and strength. | 105 |
| Bethany Hamilton | God will give us the strength to be able to handle things. I mean, you can try to do it on your own, and sometimes you can pull off some stuff, but in the long run, it's much easier with Him by our side. | 105 |
| Cara Delevingne | Victoria's Secret is really about celebrating women and what they stand for: the strength. | 105 |
| Cesar Millan | When you have a certain fitness projection, it's going to give you an advantage. Having strength, stamina and speed is important because I'm working with dogs who can kill me. | 105 |
| Chiang Kai-shek | Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation the source of strength is one's self. When one prays he goes to a source of strength greater than his own. | 105 |
| Dietrich Bonhoeffer | It is the characteristic excellence of the strong man that he can bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them. The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves. | 105 |
| Drew Barrymore | Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths. | 105 |
| Elizabeth Edwards | The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human. | 105 |
| Elizabeth Kenny | I do not want medical men to discuss whether or not my work is valuable, because I know what it will do. I want them to tell me how best this new knowledge of rapidly restoring paralysed people to health and strength can be applied where it is needed. | 105 |
| Henry Paulson | India is a vibrant nation whose strength lies in its commitment to equal rights and to speech, religious and economic freedoms that enrich the lives of all citizens.

| Ken Kesey | You can't really be strong until you see a funny side to things. | 105 |

| Mother Angelica | The woman is a gentle, loving bond who encourages, consoles, builds, reconciles, and makes all things new and vibrant. The woman is strength in time of suffering, courageous in failure, intuitive in time of danger. A woman is ingenuous when all fails, resourceful in times of want, and a true helpmate for man. | 105 |
| Nicole Scherzinger | Girl power is about loving yourself and having confidence and strength from within, so even if you're not wearing a sexy outfit, you feel sexy. | 105 |
| Phil Jackson | Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength. | 105 |
| Rudy Giuliani | The lesson of 9/11 is that America is truly exceptional. We withstood the worst attack of our history, intended by our enemies to destroy us. Instead, it drew us closer and made us more united. Our love for freedom and one another has given us a strength that surprised even ourselves. | 105 |
| William Bartram | First I shall name the eagle, of which there are three species: the great grey eagle is the largest, of great strength and high flight; he chiefly preys on fawns and other young quadrupeds. | 105 |
| Bob Keeshan | It requires more strength to be gentle, so it's the everyday encounters of life that I think we've prepared children for and prepared them to be good to other people and to consider other people. | 105 |
| Esai Morales | Being an American is a state of mind, and to be in a family is to feel the power of belonging, the power of your roots. Family is a tree, the strength of a tree, the roots, the leaves, the past and the present, the future, the fruits, the seeds. | 105 |
| Gary Locke | Diversity of thought and culture and religion and ideas has been the strength of America. | 105 |

| Hassanal Bolkiah | Our strength in finance has led us to set up an international financial centre with medium and long-term objectives, especially to develop Islamic financial and insurance services. | 105 |
| Carla Bruni | I don't believe in cutting out people from the past. It doesn't give strength; it just gives loneliness. | 105 |
| Charles A. Beard | The functions of the president are prescribed by the Constitution, but his real achievements are not set by the letter of the law. They are determined rather by his personality, the weight of his influence, his capacity for managing men, and the strength and effectiveness of the party forces behind him. | 105 |
| Derek Fisher | The source of my power and strength is God, and I know it, without a shadow of a doubt. | 105 |

| Stafford Cripps | Productive power is the foundation of a country's economic strength. | 105 |
| Sadaharu Oh | The opponents and I are really one. My strength and skills only half of the equation. The other half is theirs. An opponent is someone whose strength joined to yours creates a certain result. | 105 |
| John Cheever | Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two. | 105 |
| Joseph Nye | Terrorism is like jujitsu: The small players win if they make the large player use his strength against himself. | 105 |
| Helen Keller | Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. | 106 |
| Mother Teresa | Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. | 106 |

| Eliot Spitzer | Some say that I should settle down, go slower and not push so hard, so quickly for such transformational change. To them, I say that you misunderstand the size of the problems we face, the strength of the status quo and the urgency of the people's desire for change. | 106 |
| F. Sionil Jose | The Japanese bureaucracy is unique. It is also very powerful, although it is now the object of so much criticism. Many of Japan's brightest made it a pillar of strength and continuity. | 106 |
| Hayao Miyazaki | We get strength and encouragement from watching children. | 106 |
| Henry Miller | True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life, through devotion, to something beyond himself. | 106 |

| Pierce Brosnan | I think you make the best with what you've got, you know? Sometimes you have very little. And you just always try to rise to higher ground, because you're going to suffer one way or the other, so you just hope that you have strength and perseverance and good friends and faith, some kind of faith, to endure and move on to greener pastures. | 106 |
| Rick Perry | The God we serve does not seek out the perfect, but instead uses our imperfections and our shortcomings for his greater good. I am humbled by my own limitations. But where I am weak, He is strong. | 106 |
| Saint Bernard | Truly, love is delightful and pleasant food, supplying, as it does, rest to the weary, strength to the weak, and joy to the sorrowful. It in fact renders the yoke of truth easy and its burden light. | 106 |
| Thorstein Veblen | The basis on which good repute in any highly organized industrial community ultimately rests is pecuniary strength; and the means of showing pecuniary strength, and so of gaining or retaining a good name, are leisure and a conspicuous consumption of goods. | 106 |
| William Ellery Channing | Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict. | 106 |
| Alexis Carrel | Religion brings to man an inner strength, spiritual light, and ineffable peace. | 106 |
| Bill Frist | America is moving forward and gaining strength. We have been tested, and we have proven ourselves to be a tough, resilient and resourceful nation. | 106 |
| Clarissa Pinkola Estes | Wolves and women are relational by nature, inquiring, possessed of great endurance and strength. They are deeply intuitive, intensely concerned with their young, their mate and their pack. Yet both have been hounded, harassed and falsely imputed to be devouring and devious, overly aggressive, of less value than those who are their detractors. | 106 |
| Edward Grey | That Germany was so immensely strong and Austria so dependent upon German strength that the word and will of Germany would at the critical moment be decisive with Austria. | 106 |
| Eric Topol | I use a portable pocket ultrasound device instead of a stethoscope to listen to the heart, and I share it with the patient in real time. 'Look at your valve, look at your heart-muscle strength.' So they're looking at it with me. Normally a patient is tested by an ultrasonographer who is not allowed to tell them anything. | 106 |
| Evan Peters | There's something that's sexy about a guy who has the strength to kill somebody, but is also vulnerable enough to be in love. It's just those two sides - like, I don't know why, but women for some reason aren't attracted to normal guys, like, guys who are in between. | 106 |
| Henry Drummond | Strength of character may be learned at work, but beauty of character is learned at home. | 106 |

| Lindsey Graham | I dare say there may be some men and women in the Armed Forces who are so decent that they would say: Give the Iraqi people money, we do not want to be paid back. That is the strength of our country. | 106 |
| Sid Waddell | Darts players are probably a lot fitter than most footballers in overall body strength. | 106 |
| Theodore Bikel | All too often arrogance accompanies strength, and we must never assume that justice is on the side of the strong. The use of power must always be accompanied by moral choice. | 106 |
| Danielle de Niese | Mozart is my first strength. | 106 |
| Kevin Nash | A guy my size needs a tremendous amount of protein on a daily basis, just to maintain peak size, strength, and performance. Basically, that means six or seven small meals a day, so I depend on protein supplementation. | 106 |

| Stephen Lewis | It gives one hope, this great strength of Africa. | 106 |
| Jamie Kennedy | I'd like to be a wounded leading man. Instead of a pillar of strength, I'd be the scared one. | 106 |

| Mary Kom | My normal weight category is 48 kg. So for the 51 kg. category, I had to depend on lots of food and drinks before going in for the weigh-in. But that does not make my strength, my muscles. It's a little bit different. If there's a 48 kg. category, it's a perfect fit for me. | 106 |
| Charles Spurgeon | Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength. | 107 |

| Rosa Parks | God has always given me the strength to say what is right. | 107 |
| Audre Lorde | If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive. | 107 |

| Barbara Kingsolver | Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws. | 107 |
| Bikram Choudhury | I have both English bulldog determination and Bengal tiger strength. | 107 |
| Bobby Bowden | Faith is the most important thing in the world to me. It's the greatest strength I've had. It's helped me get through the hard times.

A lot of coaches put so much into coaching football games that they have nothing left. | 107 |
| Cory Booker | In America we have a Declaration of Independence, but our history, our advancements, our global strength all point to an American declaration of interdependence. | 107 |
| George Mason | As much as I value an union of all the states, I would not admit the southern states into the union, unless they agreed to the discontinuance of this disgraceful trade, because it would bring weakness and not strength to the union. | 107 |

| Hal Borland | If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees. | 107 |
| Orson F. Whitney | Sound moral principle is the only sure evidence of strength, the only firm foundation of greatness and perpetuity. Where this is lacking, no man's character is strong; no nation's life can be lasting. | 107 |
| Pythagoras | Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion. | 107 |
| Zygmunt Bauman | The carrying power of a bridge is not the average strength of the pillars, but the strength of the weakest pillar. I have always believed that you do not measure the health of a society by GNP but by the condition of its worst off. | 107 |

| Louis MacNeice | I am not yet born; O fill me with strength against those who would freeze my humanity. | 107 |
| Ninon de L'Enclos | The joy of the mind is the measure of its strength. | 107 |
| Philip Sidney | Poesy must not be drawn by the ears: it must be gently led, or rather, it must lead, which was partly the cause that made the ancient learned affirm it was a divine, and no human skill, since all other knowledges lie ready for any that have strength of wit; a poet no industry can make, if his own genius be not carried into it. | 107 |
| Scott Hamilton | Without strength and courage it's really hard to perform at the highest levels of international figure skating, because you're alone on the ice and you only have seven minutes over two nights to prove yourself. | 107 |
| Steven Yeun | Whatever I lack in size and strength and speed, I kind of make up for in being grittier. When it comes to something like basketball I'm definitely not the best guy on the court, but I love elbowing and pushing people out or boxing them out. | 107 |
| Cat Cora | The type of cuisine I do, especially after being on 'Iron Chef' for several years, is a lot of global cuisine. My strength has always been Mediterranean cuisine across the board from Morocco, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, but I think now I'm doing a lot of very different cuisines all the time. | 107 |
| Erin Gray | Learning how to get in tune with your field of energy and understand how to create your energy, expand that energy, and move that energy through your body. Coming back to your center, and approaching life from that center-to-line place... That to me gave me strength and understanding and hopefully wisdom to solve life's problems and challenges. | 107 |
| Gregory Harrison | I love to sing and I do think that my strength as a singer is... I think I have a voice that is certainly sufficient under most any circumstances... but I think my strength is that I really am an actor and I really do have to own what I am saying. | 107 |
| Knute Nelson | It is in Virginia and Georgia that the war now rages and where it will continue; for at these points - Richmond and Atlanta - the enemy's main strength is concentrated. | 107 |
| Ma Jian | My hope is that the Chinese government will come to realise that it is futile to repress free speech, and that contrary to what they believe a regime's strength rests not its suppression of a plurality of opinions and ideas, but in its capacity and willingness to encourage them. | 107 |
| Bob Harper | When I was first introduced to CrossFit, I found it to be the hardest workout that I'd ever done. It wiped the floor with me, and I fell in love with it immediately. The results that I have seen in my strength and physicality have been unparalleled to any other things I have ever done in my more than 20 years in the fitness business. | 107 |
| Curtis Joseph | They say everything you go through in your childhood builds character and inner strength. | 107 |

| Mitch Landrieu | One of the things that's beautiful about New Orleans is how culturally rich we are and how well we have worked together. People call us a gumbo. It's really important that we get focused on the very simple notion that diversity is a strength, it's not a weakness. | 107 |
| Abraham Lincoln | Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm. | 108 |
| Dalai Lama | When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways - either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength. Thanks to the teachings of Buddha, I have been able to take this second way. | 108 |
| Robert E. Lee | In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength. | 108 |
| Bear Grylls | My faith is an important part of my life and over the years I've learnt that it takes a proud man to say he doesn't need anything. It has been a quiet strength and a backbone through a lot of difficult times. | 108 |
| Mattie Stepanek | Remember to look at your glass half full and not half empty. A lot of my strength comes from God. God has given me a gift - the gift of life - and it's amazing that I live each day. | 108 |
| Billy Corgan | Calm, open debate, and logical thought drive strength to its maximum effectiveness. | 108 |

| Charles Caleb Colton | Patience is the support of weakness; impatience the ruin of strength. | 108 |

| Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton | Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength. | 108 |
| Francis Quarles | If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail. | 108 |
| Ho Chi Minh | Remember, the storm is a good opportunity for the pine and the cypress to show their strength and their stability. | 108 |
| Mariah Carey | You really have to look inside yourself and find your own inner strength, and say, 'I'm proud of what I am and who I am, and I'm just going to be myself.' | 108 |
| Olivia Thirlby | There's so much with my character in 'Dredd' that I identify with. She's my favorite character I think I've ever played. She's the most dynamic and fascinating woman that I could even imagine playing, so I love her. What I love about her is that her sensitivity is her greatest strength. | 108 |
| Pedro Almodovar | I also wanted to express the strength of cinema to hide reality, while being entertaining. Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness. | 108 |
| Russell Brand | Strength does not have to be belligerent and loud. | 108 |
| William E. Gladstone | Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic. | 108 |
| William J. Clinton | Strength and wisdom are not opposing values. | 108 |

My conviction grew that art was stronger than death. | 108 |
| Tryon Edwards | Any act often repeated soon forms a habit; and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, At first it may be but as a spider's web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel. | 108 |
| William Bligh | The Cape Town is considerably increased within the last eight years. Its respectability with regard to strength has kept pace with its other enlargements and rendered it very secure against any attempt which is not made with considerable force. | 108 |
| William Cavendish | You must in all Airs follow the strength, spirit, and disposition of the horse, and do nothing against nature; for art is but to set nature in order, and nothing else. | 108 |

| Linda Hunt | I was always trying to make up for my size, to compensate. So to get people to take you seriously, you have to come at things with a great deal of strength. You have to emphasize that the way you are is unusual. That you don't come along every day. | 108 |
| Josephus Daniels | Men who live valiantly and die nobly have a strength and a courage from the eternal Father. | 108 |
| Cesar Chavez | We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure. | 109 |

| Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu | When you have a fresh point of view that comes from the right side of the heart, it's just so valuable. You can take it or not take it, but just that perspective can give you a lot of strength or make you reflect on a lot of things. | 109 |

| Jada Pinkett Smith | We have to nurture our young women and understand the beauty and the strength of being a woman. It's kind of a catch-22: Strength in women isn't appreciated, and vulnerability in women isn't appreciated. It's like, 'What the hell do you do?' What you do is you don't allow anyone to dictate who you are. | 109 |
| Karen DeCrow | Despite the strength of the feminist movement in the 1970s and beyond, a fable has persisted that educated women are rejected as marriage partners. | 109 |
| Novak Djokovic | I stopped thinking too much about what could happen and relied on my physical and mental strength to play the right shots at the right time. | 109 |
| Os Guinness | Augustine says that you don't understand a nation by the throw weight of its military or the strength of its research universities or the size of its population, but by looking at what it loves in common. To assess a nation, you look at the health and strength of its ideals. And there's no question that the common love in America is freedom. | 109 |
| Sharon Salzberg | We can learn the art of fierce compassion - redefining strength, deconstructing isolation and renewing a sense of community, practicing letting go of rigid us-vs.-them thinking - while cultivating power and clarity in response to difficult situations. | 109 |
| Vladimir Kramnik | The strength of the playing ability is much more important. Only if the strength of the opponent's playing ability is comparable, does the game develop. | 109 |

| Jack LaLanne | Focus on your problem zones, your strength, your energy, your flexibility and all the rest. Maybe your chest is flabby or your hips or waist need toning. Also, you should change your program every thirty days. That's the key. | 109 |
| Ernest Istook | America's strength is not our diversity; our strength is our ability to unite people of different backgrounds around common principles. A common language is necessary to reach that goal. | 109 |
| James Comey | Public corruption is the FBI's top criminal priority. The threat - which involves the corruption of local, state, and federally elected, appointed, or contracted officials - strikes at the heart of government, eroding public confidence and undermining the strength of our democracy. | 109 |
| Jared Leto | He's an innocent in a lot of ways. He's a very simple person who really doesn't have the resources or the strength, ultimately, to handle the situation. | 109 |
| Moshe Dayan | I have the strength to endure it all. | 109 |
| Sextus Propertius | Although strength should fail, the effort will deserve praise. In great enterprises the attempt is enough. | 109 |
| Shahid Kapoor | Attachment is your biggest strength and your biggest weakness. Though it gives you the power to love someone more than yourself, it becomes difficult to live when you lose something you are attached to. Even when we have lost, we should go beyond that and get truly attached to someone. Loving someone truly is the most beautiful feeling. | 109 |
| Lee Greenwood | At their core, when things really matter, people see a need to turn to God for strength and protection. | 109 |

| Gijs de Vries | Terrorists have failed to trigger mass conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims in Europe. We should draw strength from that fact. | 110 |
| Patrick J. Kennedy | On the other hand, the American public possesses a great resilience and strength, and good risk communication strategies can tap into and even amplify those assets. | 110 |
| Sri Mulyani Indrawati | So much research has been done showing that the woman is the most vulnerable but also the biggest strength leading to economic progress. | 110 |

| Ann Bancroft | I had no doubts I could go to the pole. I may not be as strong, but I make up for physical strength in other areas, like steadiness and not panicking under stress. | 110 |
| Charlotte Bunch | Our very strength as lesbians lies in the fact that we are outside of patriarchy; our existence challenges its life. | 110 |
| Ernest Istook | My father was the son of immigrants, and he grew up bilingual, but English is what my father taught me and what he spoke to me. America's strength is not our diversity; it is our ability to unite around common principles even when we come from different backgrounds. | 110 |

| Ariel Sharon | The strength that I have comes from irrigating the citrus plantation, ploughing in the vineyard, guarding the melon fields at night. I believe that's what gave me the strength. | 111 |
| Branch Rickey | I find fault with my children because I like them and I want them to go places - uprightness and strength and courage and civil respect and anything that affects the probabilities of failure on the part of those that are closest to me, that concerns me - I find fault. | 111 |
| Deepika Padukone | Of course! It takes a lot of strength to mend a broken heart. Channelising energies into your work helps, but also to be able to accept situations for what they are instead of questioning them helps immensely. | 111 |
| F. Sionil Jose | Indeed, the existence of class, of social hierarchy, is as old as man himself. It prevails in the jungle where strength determines hierarchy; among men, it has also been savagely the same, whereby rulers vested with power through personal combat, or through lineal heritage as in the case of royalty, ravage their subjects. | 111 |
| Ludwig van Beethoven | This is the mark of a really admirable man: steadfastness in the face of trouble. | 111 |
| Sheri L. Dew | Through the years, I, like you, have experienced pressures and disappointments that would have crushed me had I not been able to draw upon a source of wisdom and strength far greater than my own.

| Georg Brandes | Just about this time, when in imagination I was so great a warrior, I had good use in real life for more strength, as I was no longer taken to school by the nurse, but instead had myself to protect my brother, two years my junior. | 111 |
| Jim Brown | I came from Long Island, so I had a lot of experience at the stick. I played in junior high school, then I played in high school. The technical aspect of the game was my forte. I had all that experience, then I had strength and I was in good condition. | 111 |

| Bela Karolyi | A good 80 percent of the vault is still physical and another percentage of it, 20, 25 percent is mental. Mental is always the mental strength, the confidence building up to that contest or repetition, practice, practice, and practice. | 111 |
| Sanjay Dutt | I don't get particularly friendly with new people at first go. Call that a strength or a failing, whatever. | 111 |

| Herodotus | Force has no place where there is need of skill. | 113 |

| Jason Mraz | My strength was in singing and songwriting, which was a new discovery for me when I was 18. And I decided if I pursued songwriting, which is what was closest to my heart, then there would be no competition. I would just live my life being myself and living my dream. | 113 |

| Gloria Steinem | What I've learned is that unless it's an emergency, like a fire or brain surgery, hierarchy is not necessary and may be damaging.

| Isabel Allende | We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome. | 114 |

| Katie Aselton | It took me a really long time to decide who I want my circle to be and who I want to surround myself with.

These are the people that make me feel good about me, and that I love and adore and will do anything for. | 114 |

| LZ Granderson | Insecurity is a natural part of human nature, and there are times we feel our stories are not worth telling, so we turn to the people we admire for strength. If we dress like someone everyone thinks is cool, perhaps we'll be seen as cool. | 115 |
| Naomi Watts | On set is where I feel comfortable. The red carpet stuff, talking about the film, explaining your own life, it doesn't come naturally. It's all necessary stuff I suppose but it's not my strength. | 115 |
| Roger Federer | The serve, I was too young and too small and... not enough powerful to have a good serve when I was young, so my forehand was always my signature shot. So I used to always run around my backhand, you know, use my forehand as much as I could, and so that's why I think it's my strength also today, you know. | 115 |
| Viswanathan Anand | I appreciate the support and anyone who takes up a position on my behalf. Especially in matches, this feeling that there are people behind you, gives me a lot of strength. | 115 |
| Yuvraj Singh | I have worked really hard on my game, but I think my mother has been a real pillar of strength. She has prayed a lot, sacrificed a lot for me. You know, she hasn't seen me bat so far. When I am batting, she is praying... mothers are like that, aren't they? | 115 |
| David Hare | Strength was the virtue of paganism; obedience is the virtue of Christianity. | 115 |

| Alex Tabarrok | America has the highest standard of living of any major country in the entire world. To maintain and enhance that standard of living, America should continue to embrace those qualities which have made America great: openness and dynamism. Openness to new technologies, new ideas and new people is America's greatest source of strength. | 115 |

| Marcus Buckingham | Strengths are not activities you're good at, they're activities that strengthen you. A strength is an activity that before you're doing it you look forward to doing it; while you're doing it, time goes by quickly and you can concentrate; after you've done it, it seems to fulfill a need of yours. | 115 |

| Picabo Street | My knee is as strong as it was before, if not stronger, and it's a matter of getting my leg strong. I lost six years of strength in about six month's time, so it's going to take another year or two to get that leg back up to full strength, but I'm good to go so far. | 115 |
| Anthony Anderson | My wife and I have always trusted each other, and I have to thank her strength. | 115 |

| Corey Taylor | So many people in the world would rather stay in a situation that's painful but familiar because they're comfortable with it. Not a lot of people have the strength or heart to realize when something's not good for them and to turn around and be alone. | 117 |
| Ezra Taft Benson | I firmly believe in prayer. It is possible to reach out and tap the unseen power which gives strength and anchor in time of need. | 117 |

| Ernest Gaines | What I miss today more than anything else - I don't go to church as much anymore - but that old-time religion, that old singing, that old praying which I love so much. That is the great strength of my being, of my writing. | 117 |
| Hoda Kotb | Sometimes you have to take the focus off of you and put it on someone else and it's funny what you can accomplish and how much strength you really have. | 117 |

| William C. Bryant | Difficulty, my brethren, is the nurse of greatness - a harsh nurse, who roughly rocks her foster - children into strength and athletic proportion. | 117 |
| Amanda Lindhout | I must thank my good friend Nigel Brennan. His strength of character in the midst of extreme hardship inspired me during the darkest days.

| Ivanka Trump | For my first fragrance, I wanted to capture the essence of a woman's strength and beauty. | 118 |
| Ben Carson | Our strength as a nation comes in our unity. We are the United States of America, not the divided states. And those who want to divide us are trying to divide us, and we shouldn't let them do it. | 118 |
| William Wordsworth | That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. | 118 |
| Adam Schiff | An America that inspires hope in its ideals must complement an America that inspires awe in its strength. | 118 |
| Jack Ma | The lessons I learned from the dark days at Alibaba are that you've got to make your team have value, innovation, and vision. Also, if you don't give up, you still have a chance. And, when you are small, you have to be very focused and rely on your brain, not your strength. | 118 |
| John Burroughs | The spirit of man can endure only so much and when it is broken only a miracle can mend it. | 118 |

| Paul Harris | The very strength of a nation eventually proves to be its weakness. | 118 |

| Sophia Loren | Many people think they want things, but they don't really have the strength, the discipline. They are weak. I believe that you get what you want if you want it badly enough. | 118 |

| J. R. R. Tolkien | You have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have. | 119 |

| Mahalia Jackson | You're blessed if you have the strength to work. | 119 |
| Shreya Ghoshal | I'm not superstitious about good luck charms and all that. I don't have any ring or any tangible thing as a charm. But I like to have at least one of my parents with me during my shows. It gives me strength to find their faces... or my brothers... in the audience. It comforts me. | 119 |
| Samantha Stosur | My workouts include aerobic exercise for a healthy cardiovascular system; strength training to maintain muscle tone and bone density; core strength exercise for a stable mid-section; and stretching to maintain mobility. | 119 |
| Peter Drucker | My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions. | 120 |
| Queen Elizabeth II | I have behind me not only the splendid traditions and the annals of more than a thousand years but the living strength and majesty of the Commonwealth and Empire; of societies old and new; of lands and races different in history and origins but all, by God's Will, united in spirit and in aim. | 120 |
| Annie Besant | I have ever been the queerest mixture of weakness and strength, and have paid heavily for the weakness. | 120 |

| Josephine Baker | I believe in prayer. It's the best way we have to draw strength from heaven. | 120 |
| Saint Ambrose | God is not accustomed to refusing a good gift to those who ask for one.

| Jimmy Carter | In this outward and physical ceremony we attest once again to the inner and spiritual strength of our Nation. As my high school teacher, Miss Julia Coleman, used to say: 'We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.' | 121 |
| Anthony Bourdain | The fact that over 50 per cent of the residents of Toronto are not from Canada, that is always a good thing, creatively, and for food especially. That is easily a city's biggest strength, and it is Toronto's unique strength. | 121 |

| Faith Hill | I have this strength that comes from knowledge. | 121 |
| Felix Frankfurter | The mark of a truly civilized man is confidence in the strength and security derived from the inquiring mind. | 121 |

| Mark McKinnon | Contrary to conventional military and game theory, the most effective offense is sometimes a direct attack against your political opponent's greatest strength - not his weaknesses - to place him immediately on the defensive. | 121 |
| Robert Reich | Our moral authority is as important, if not more important, than our troop strength or our high-tech weapons. We are rapidly losing that moral authority, not only in the Arab world but all over the world. | 121 |

| John Bytheway | Victory in physical battles requires strength, muscles, and skill; but the fight is never tougher and victory is never sweeter than in the battles over self. | 121 |
| George W. Bush | The financial crisis should not become an excuse to raise taxes, which would only undermine the economic growth required to regain our strength. | 122 |
| Norman Vincent Peale | Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have. | 122 |
| Arnold Palmer | Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character. | 122 |
| Charlotte Bronte | You had no right to be born; for you make no use of life. Instead of living for, in, and with yourself, as a reasonable being ought, you seek only to fasten your feebleness on some other person's strength. | 122 |
| Geraldine Ferraro | What are my sources of strength? My husband and my three kids, my health-care team, and my religion. | 122 |
| James M. Barrie | Strength instead of being the lusty child of passion, grows by grappling with and subduing them. | 122 |

| Willie Aames | I want kids to understand that strength doesn't come from what goes on around you. It comes from inside you, and that comes from Jesus Christ. | 122 |
| Emraan Hashmi | As for my looks, if I didn't look the way I do, I would probably be one of those many faces doing a romcom, which I detest. The way I look has somewhere defined the characters I played. My weakness has become my strength. | 122 |
| Max Muller | Whoever knows it also knows that in love there is no More and no Less; but that he who loves can only love with the whole heart, and with the whole soul; with all his strength and with all his will. | 122 |
| Peter Guber | At Casablanca we did 'Midnight Express,' 'Flashdance,' and 'The Deep.' My willingness for risk has always been my strength. | 122 |
| Andrew Luck | I think I feel fortunate to have been very well educated in terms of strength and training while I was at school at Stanford, and I think our strength coaches here on the Colts do a great job. A big part of being able to withstand hits is making sure that you've got a good base. | 122 |
| Marcus Buckingham | You won't find a CEO who doesn't talk about a 'powerful culture' as a source of competitive advantage. At the same time, you'd be hard-pressed to find a CEO who has much of a clue about the strength of that culture. | 122 |
| Michael Landon | With a houseful of kids you give each other strength. | 122 |

| Black Elk | I know now what this meant, that the bison were the gift of a good spirit and were our strength, but we should lose them, and from the same good spirit we must find another strength. | 123 |
| Blake Lively | The Green Lantern is a unique superhero because it's not that he's super that is his focus; it's that he's a man. He's very human. That's his greatest strength and his greatest weakness. | 123 |
| Elizabeth I | A strength to harm is perilous in the hand of an ambitious head. | 123 |
| Isabel Allende | I never said I wanted a 'happy' life but an interesting one. From separation and loss, I have learned a lot. I have become strong and resilient, as is the case of almost every human being exposed to life and to the world. We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. | 123 |
| Noel Coward | That strange feeling we had in the war. Have you found anything in your lives since to equal it in strength? A sort of splendid carelessness it was, holding us together. | 123 |
| Thomas Carlyle | Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance - the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it; better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen. | 123 |
| Steve Albini | If the label presents them with a contract that the band don't want to sign, all the label has to do is wait. There are a hundred other bands willing to sign the exact same contract, so the label is in a position of strength. | 123 |

| Jeffrey Sachs | There's a lot of strength in the U.S., but there's a lot of froth also. The froth will blow off. We're going to have to face up to some realities that we're not fully facing up to right now. | 123 |
| Nelson Mandela | Does anybody really think that they didn't get what they had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment? | 124 |
| Charles Dickens | The men who learn endurance, are they who call the whole world, brother. | 124 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | One ever feels his twoness - an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. | 124 |
| Ivanka Trump | My father not only has the strength and ability necessary to be our next president, but also the kindness and compassion that will enable him to be the leader that this country needs. | 124 |
| Henri Nouwen | When we have nothing to cling to as our own and cease thinking of ourselves as people who must defend privileges, we can open ourselves freely to others with the faithful expectation that our strength will manifest itself in our shared weakness. | 124 |
| N. R. Narayana Murthy | The lack of financial strength to avail healthcare is a major challenge. | 124 |
| Tullian Tchividjian | Your identity is firmly anchored in Christ's accomplishment, not yours; his strength, not yours; his performance, not yours; his victory, not yours. | 124 |
| Jennifer Granholm | Our strength is not just in the size of our defense budget, but in the size of our hearts, in the size of our gratitude for their sacrifice. And that's not just measured in words or gestures. | 124 |
| Virat Kohli | In cricket, my superhero is Sachin Tendulkar. He has always been my hero and will continue to remain so. Apart from him and outside cricket, my mother has remained my inspiration. Whatever difficult time I had faced, she was always there for me. She has given me all the strength. She maintained her composure and supported me in tough times. | 125 |
| Marlo Thomas | In that I found being able to talk to my family about my feelings, praying for strength and realizing that our lives have a deep purpose and the journey of our lives is to find out what that is and express it, was the only way I could have gotten through it. | 125 |
| Tom Wolfe | Once you have speech, you don't have to wait for natural selection! If you want more strength, you build a stealth bomber; if you don't like bacteria, you invent penicillin; if you want to communicate faster, you invent the Internet. Once speech evolved, all of human life changed. | 125 |
| Zsa Zsa Gabor | To be loved is a strength. To love is a weakness. | 125 |
| Allen Klein | And, unlike the earlier bombing on the World Trade Center, a major landmark and symbol of the strength of the financial world was, not just damaged but, totally destroyed. | 125 |
| Georg Buchner | The weapon of the Republic is terror, and virtue is its strength. | 125 |
| Thomas Jefferson | I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country. | 126 |
| Winston Churchill | This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure. | 126 |
| Aldous Huxley | Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength. | 126 |
| Vince Lombardi | The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will. | 126 |
| Buffalo Bill | My mother's sympathies were strongly with the Union. She knew that war was bound to come, but so confident was she in the strength of the Federal Government that she devoutly believed that the struggle could not last longer than six months at the utmost. | 126 |
| Charles Lamb | Credulity is the man's weakness, but the child's strength. | 126 |
| Francis Chan | Churches we build only by our own efforts and not in the strength of the Spirit will quickly collapse when we don't push and prod people along. | 126 |
| Kate Winslet | I'm often drawn to characters that are more obviously one thing. They're passionate, and there is always an element of strength because I think every person possesses that in some way, even if they've experienced hardship in their lives. | 126 |
| Walter Scott | It is wonderful what strength of purpose and boldness and energy of will are roused by the assurance that we are doing our duty. | 126 |
| Ann Richards | Weight-bearing exercise builds bone density, builds your muscular strength so that you can hold your body up where those bones have a tendency to get weak. | 126 |
| Al-Waleed bin Talal | The legacy of Steve Jobs and the strength of Steve Jobs is that he established a company that's clearly firing on all cylinders and clicking very well. | 126 |
| Dalai Lama | Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health. | 201 |
| Henry Wadsworth Longfellow | Method is more important than strength, when you wish to control your enemies. By dropping golden beads near a snake, a crow once managed To have a passer-by kill the snake for the beads. | 201 |
| Lyndon B. Johnson | The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being. | 201 |
| Dag Hammarskjold | The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law. Delicate line gathers the body's total strength in a bold balance. Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form? | 201 |
| Robert Winston | Now we have technology where we can modify the genomics of individuals by gene transfer and genetic meddling, we may find that people will want to modify their children, enhance their intelligence, their strength and their beauty and all the other so-called desirable characteristics. | 201 |
| Shimon Peres | Early in the morning, I fell in love with the girl that later on became my wife. At that time, we were so naive. I wanted to charm her, so I read her Capital by Marx. I thought somehow she would be convinced by the strength of his criticism about capital. | 201 |
| Walter Annenberg | God grant you the strength to fight off the temptations of surrender. | 201 |
| Barbara Corcoran | I have a theory and I really believe it. I think your worst weakness can become your greatest single strength. | 201 |
| John W. Gardner | Leaders come in many forms, with many styles and diverse qualities. There are quiet leaders and leaders one can hear in the next county. Some find strength in eloquence, some in judgment, some in courage. | 201 |
| Lady Gregory | I was told in many places of Osgar's bravery and Goll's strength and Conan's bitter tongue, and the arguments of Oisin and Patrick. And I have often been given the story of Oisin's journey to Tir-nan-Og, the Country of the Young, that is, as I am told, a fine place and everything that is good is in it. | 201 |
| Marianne Faithfull | My story is really an affirmation of my strength and my luck. To live with a great artist like Ted Hughes or Mick Jagger is a very, very destructive role for a woman trying to be herself. In fact, it can't be done. | 201 |
| John F. Kennedy | The tax on capital gains directly affects investment decisions, the mobility and flow of risk capital... the ease or difficulty experienced by new ventures in obtaining capital, and thereby the strength and potential for growth in the economy. | 202 |
| Calvin Coolidge | Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong. | 202 |
| Anna Quindlen | I realized that, while I would never be my mother nor have her life, the lesson she had left me was that it was possible to love and care for a man and still have at your core a strength so great that you never even needed to put it on display. | 202 |
| Black Elk | I had a vision with which I might have saved my people, but I had not the strength to do it. | 202 |
| Oriana Fallaci | What are the symbols of American strength, wealth, power and modernity? Certainly not jazz and rock and roll, not chewing-gum or hamburgers, Broadway or Hollywood. It's their skyscrapers. Their Pentagon. Their science. Their technology. | 202 |
| Garry Shandling | But I really like hosting, I think it's a strength of mine. It allows me to improvise, and I love the spontaneity of that, and I think I'm funny behind the desk when interviewing someone. | 202 |
| J. C. Watts | I never got into politics for it to be a career. It doesn't take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go. | 202 |
| Moshe Dayan | It was in our power to cause the Arab governments to renounce the policy of strength toward Israel by turning it into a demonstration of weakness. | 202 |
| Dwight D. Eisenhower | Only strength can cooperate. Weakness can only beg. | 203 |
| Alfred Lord Tennyson | My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure. | 203 |
| Marcel Proust | A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it. | 203 |
| Anna Quindlen | Even as we enumerate their shortcomings, the rigor of raising children ourselves makes clear to us our mothers' incredible strength. We fear both. If they are not strong, who will protect us? If they are not imperfect, how can we equal them? | 203 |
| Chinua Achebe | When a tradition gathers enough strength to go on for centuries, you don't just turn it off one day. | 203 |
| Elizabeth Taylor | I've been through it all, baby, I'm mother courage. | 203 |
| Herman Melville | Let us speak, though we show all our faults and weaknesses, - for it is a sign of strength to be weak, to know it, and out with it - not in a set way and ostentatiously, though, but incidentally and without premeditation. | 203 |
| Kelly Rowland | I see the beauty in boxing. It teaches me strength physically, but mostly mentally. I had to learn my strength, because for so long I could have been tougher than I was. | 203 |
| Tariq Ramadan | The strength of democratic societies relies on their capacity to know how to stand firm against extremism while respecting justice in the means used to fight terrorism. | 203 |
| Ariel Sharon | My strength never came from political echelons, it came from the family. And from the fields and the lands and the flowers and everything I see there. My strength came from there. | 204 |
| Cristiano Ronaldo | I was ironing my own clothes when I was 11 years old. My mental strength goes back to those days. | 204 |
| Joseph Conrad | It is a maudlin and indecent verity that comes out through the strength of wine. | 204 |
| Joe Torre | I think that I have a sensitivity toward people, and that is a strength. | 204 |
| Jon Meacham | In America, now, let us - Christian, Jew, Muslim, agnostic, atheist, wiccan, whatever - fight nativism with the same strength and conviction that we fight terrorism. My faith calls on its followers to love one's enemies. A tall order, that - perhaps the tallest of all. | 204 |
| Beyonce Knowles | Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Marilyn Monroe, because she was a curvy woman. I'm drawn to things that have the same kind of silhouettes as what she wore because our bodies are similar. | 205 |
| Dwight D. Eisenhower | The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth. | 205 |
| Lou Holtz | Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God's word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin - and it's gonna happen - confession puts us back on the field. | 205 |
| Bindi Irwin | It's so easy to be there when it's all sunshine, but it really takes strength and courage to be there for each other during the dark times. | 205 |
| James E. Faust | Many think that the price of discipleship is too costly and too burdensome. For some, it involves giving up too much. But the cross is not as heavy as it appears to be. Through obedience, we acquire much greater strength to carry it. | 205 |
| Karen Armstrong | Mohammed was not an apparent failure. He was a dazzling success, politically as well as spiritually, and Islam went from strength to strength to strength. | 205 |
| Tracy Morgan | On 'Saturday Night Live,' I never really wrote. You know, I would just - I would let the writers cast me into the show. So my strength - and I put all my energies into performance. I just couldn't deal with the rejection, you know, getting your sketches cut, and it was hard for me. | 205 |
| Vladimir Putin | The transfer of power is always a test of the constitutional system, a test of its strength. | 206 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | I believe in the Prince of Peace. I believe that War is Murder. I believe that armies and navies are at bottom the tinsel and braggadocio of oppression and wrong, and I believe that the wicked conquest of weaker and darker nations by nations whiter and stronger but foreshadows the death of that strength. | 206 |
| Angela Merkel | So Europe needs to be competitive and we also need to be competitive if we wish to remain an interesting economic partner for the United States. This has to be done on the basis of strength, of competitiveness. | 206 |
| Carolina Herrera | A man has to have sensibility, wit, mystery, tolerance, and strength... Romance also helps. | 206 |
| Luc de Clapiers | You must rouse into people's consciousness their own prudence and strength, if you want to raise their character. | 206 |
| William J. Clinton | President Obama's record on national security is a tribute to his strength, and judgment, and to his preference for inclusion and partnership over partisanship. | 206 |
| Barbara Corcoran | My greatest strength as a child, I realize now, was my imagination. While every other kid was reading and writing, I had seven whole hours a day to practice my imagination. When do you get that space in your life, ever? | 206 |
| Brittany Murphy | If I could be a third of the woman that my mom is and have a third of the strength that she has, then I will have done good by this life. | 206 |

The person who had most influence on me was my mother, but it was really for her strength and courage more than her style, even though she had a lot of style. In a weird way, looking at pictures of me when I was 17 or 18, I was dressing the same way. I haven't changed very much. | 210 |
| Ovid | Endure and persist; this pain will turn to good by and by. | 210 |

| Robert Redford | Well first of all it's a business and it's a tough business, and you have to have the strength to survive all the set backs all the failures that make this a mean business, that's getting meaner and meaner every year in my opinion. | 211 |
| Alicia Keys | The element of fire to me is very powerful because of what it symbolizes, how it symbolizes a strength. It symbolizes something that's unstoppable. You can't get through it, you know. | 212 |
| Herman Cain | I challenge anybody to say that I wouldn't know how to approach foreign policy because, unlike some of the other people, I at least have a foreign policy philosophy, which is an extension of the Reagan philosophy. Peace through strength, and my philosophy is peace through strength and clarity. | 212 |
| Katrina Kaif | Learning what all you can overcome as a person, as a human being, is very important. It's very important to understand your strength. Which is not to say you become hardened or bitter. | 212 |
| Diane von Furstenberg | All I can tell you is that I've never met a woman who is not strong, but sometimes they don't let it out. Then there's a tragedy, and then all of a sudden that strength comes. My message is let the strength come out before the tragedy. | 213 |

| Albert Einstein | Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person. | 219 |

| Michael Franti | All my songs are different, but from the overall experience, I want people to sense that they can overcome and move through difficult times and find strength in my music. Maybe it's a song that makes them cry and move through something else. | 220 |
| Lao Tzu | Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline; simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength. | 221 |

| Brian Eno | The earliest paintings I loved were always the most non-referential paintings you can imagine, by painters such as Mondrian.

| Chuck Palahniuk | With a book, you're guaranteed the audience has a certain skill level and that the audience has to make an ongoing effort to consume this product and that the project is being consumed by just one person at a time.

| Henry B. Eyring | Increased spiritual strength is a gift from God which He can give when we push in His service to our limits.

| Henry Ward Beecher | Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength; and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory.

| Barbra Streisand | To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it's also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do - bad or good. | 303 |

| Betty White | I kid around a lot, but pranks are not my best strength! | 304 |

| Nas | I think I've had the longest career of strength, focus, and still being able to sell records. I think I'm that guy. I'm still blessed with the opportunity to make music and pass out a message like, 'Life is good,' to the world. | 305 |
| Bear Grylls | One killer exercise that's really great is pull-ups with your legs out level. That's my favourite. It's such functional core strength, and that's why I can climb up trees and down vines. | 305 |

| Madonna Ciccone | I get strength from my art - all the paintings I own are powerful. | 305 |

| Joyce Meyer | God's grace is amazing! We're saved by grace - God's undeserved favor - and we live by grace, which is also God's power in our lives to do what we could never do in our own strength. And it's all because God is love, and He loves us unconditionally, constantly and completely. | 306 |

Instead, they are actually learning to trust themselves. My job is to affirm and support them in the process and teach them to do what I do when I need strength: I begin within. | 309 |
| Carine Roitfeld | Thinking differently is my strength. | 310 |
| Diane von Furstenberg | All women are the same, really: They are strong, but they are afraid of their own strength. | 310 |

| Ellen G. White | Ministers should not pray so loud, and long, as to exhaust the strength. It is not necessary to weary the throat and lungs in prayer.

| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength. | 320 |

| Ovid | Courage conquers all things: it even gives strength to the body. | 320 |
| Donald Trump | We - we need strength, we need energy, we need quickness and we need brain in this country to turn it around. | 321 |

| Mahatma Gandhi | When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible. | 326 |

| Lao Tzu | He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty. | 410 |
