Water flows humbly to the lowest level.Nothing is weaker than water,Yet for overcoming what is hard and strong,Nothing surpasses it.
Lao-Tzu
Self-denial is indispensable to a strong character, and the highest kind comes from a religious stock.
Theodore Parker
A strong hatred is the best lamp to bear in our hands as we go over the dark places of life, cutting away the dead things men tell us to revere.
Rebecca West
The curse of mortality. You spend the first portion of your life learning, growing stronger, more capable. And then, through no fault of your own, your body begins to fail. You regress. Strong limbs become feeble, keen senses grow dull, hardy constitutions deteriorate. Beauty withers. Organs quit. You remember yourself in your prime, and wonder where that person went. As your wisdom and experience are peaking, your traitorous body becomes a prison.
Brandon Mull
Studies have indicated there is a strong correlation between the shortages of nurses and morbidity and mortality rates in our hospitals.

When someone has a strong intuitive connection, Buddhism suggests that it's because of karma, some past connection.
Richard Gere
Friendship is the wine of life: but friendship new... is neither strong nor pure
Edward Young
We can be energy independent, have affordable health care and a strong economy. All it takes is a commitment in Washington to put progress, not politics, first.
Harry Reid
Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.
G.K. Chesterton
As dreadful as the Manichean god, Adored through fear, strong only to destroy.
William Cowper
If it be true that men of strong imaginations are usually dogmatists--and I am inclined to think it is so--it ought to follow that men of weak imaginations are the reverse; in which case we should have some compensation for stupidity. But it unfortunately happens that no dogmatist is more obstinate or less open to conviction than a fool.
Charles Caleb Colton
Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.â€
Annie Leibovitz
A wise man once said, "Convention is like the shell to the chick, a protection till he is strong enough to break it through."
Billings Learned Hand
