Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
My strength lies solely in my tenacity.
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.
It is good to love as much as one can, for therein lies true strength, and he who loves much does much and is capable of much, and that which is done with love is well done.
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
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.
The strongest natures, when they are influenced, submit the most unreservedly: it is perhaps a sign of their strength.
Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.
People do not lack strength; they lack will.
My attitude is, if you push me toward something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
But by fighting the difficulties in which one finds oneself, an inner strength develops from within our heart, which improves in life’s fight.
A nation’ s strength ultimately consists in what it can do on its own, and not in what it can borrow from others.
