The whole strength of England lies in the fact that the enormous majority of the English people are snobs.
George Bernard Shaw
Silence is a source of great strength.
Lao Tzu
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved
Helen Adams Keller
If you make a habit of sincere prayer, your life will be very noticeably and profoundly altered. Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquility of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. . . . Properly understood, prayer is a mature activity indispensable to the fullest development of personality . . . . Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strengths
Alexis Carrel
Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty.
John Ruskin
Strength of mind is exercise, not rest.
Alexander Pope
Strength lies not in defense but in attack
Adolf Hitler
Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Nothing has more strength than dire necessity.
Euripides
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Bible
Grudge no expense -- yield to no opposition -- forget fatigue -- till, by the strength of prayer and sacrifice, the spirit of love shall have overcome . . .
Maria Weston Chapman
To win true peace, a man needs to feel himself directed, pardoned, and sustained by a supreme power, to feel himself in the right road, at the point where God would have him be - in order with God and the universe. This faith gives strength and calm.
Henri Frederic Amiel
When I would recreate myself, I seek the darkest wood, the thickest and most interminable, and to the citizen, most dismal swamp. I enter a swamp as a sacred place - a sanctum sanctorum. There is the strength, the marrow of Nature.
Henry David Thoreau
Lower your voice and strengthen your argument

Few things are impossible to diligence and skill ... Great works are performed, not by strength, but perseverance.
Samuel Johnson
