Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
Bertrand RussellPatience is the support of weakness, impatience the ruin of strength.
Charles Caleb ColtonNothing strengthens authority so much as silence.
Leonardo da VinciSometimes love is stronger than a man's convictions.
Isaac Bashevis SingerI love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm and whose conscience approves their conduct will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da VinciI 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.
Thomas PaineA strong mind always hopes and has always cause to hope.
Thomas CarlyleAbsence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.
Thomas FullerDon't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one, it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
Dale Carnegie[But the strongest reason he gave for discounting the results of the B-sample tests from France was heartfelt and honest and totally typical of the iconic cancer survivor.] A guy who comes back from arguably you know a death sentence ... Why would I then enter into a sport and dope myself up and risk my life again? That's crazy. I would never do that. No. No way.
Lance ArmstrongWondrous 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.
Thomas CarlyleHe is greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.
Henry Ward BeecherWe are born weak we need strength, helpless we need aid, foolish we need reason. All that we lack at birth all that we need when we come to man's estate is the gift of education.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau[Not as long as Armstrong is riding. Asked at the end of the second week whether he thought he was] too much of a force for the Tour's own good ... I don't know. But I know that I love the race. I love everything that it stands for. It is what they pay me to do. This is my job. They say 'Lance we want you to win the Tour de France.' That's what the team wants what the sponsors want what cycling fans in America want what cancer survivors around the world want.
Lance ArmstrongIvan was the strongest today. I didn't give it to him
Lance ArmstrongMost folks want to believe in Armstrong in the credibility of his courage in the veracity of his inspiration in the purity of his Tour de France titles. Most want to believe but does everyone dare? We've been suckers for hearts-and-flowers icons before.
Lance ArmstrongGod our Creator has stored within our minds and personalities great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.
Abdul KalamPower will intoxicate the best hearts as wine the strongest heads. No man is wise enough nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Charles Caleb ColtonI am an atheist out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.
Isaac AsimovThere is a strange glow on the face of a guileless person. Inner cleanliness has its own soap and water - the soap of strong faith and the water of constant practice.
Sai BabaIt is not one man nor a million but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are one by one broken but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada it wears out the rock. In like manner whatever the struggle of individuals the great cause will gather strength.
Lord ByronPersecution is not an original feature in any religion, but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law.
Thomas PaineUnless India stands up to the world no one will respect us. In this world fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.
Abdul KalamSo long as you say I am . there is bound to be fear but once you say and feel I am GOD you get unconquerable strength.
Sai BabaThe strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resistance.
Thomas PaineA strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body it gives boldness enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.
Thomas JeffersonMost people when they come to you for advice come to have their own opinions strengthened not corrected.
Josh BillingsThe soles of Neil Armstrong's boots on the moon made permanent impressions on our souls and in our national psyche. Ann and I watched those steps together on her parent's sofa. Like all Americans we went to bed that night knowing we lived in the greatest country in the history of the world. God bless Neil Armstrong.
Mitt RomneyIt is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.
Frederick DouglassHe who would be useful strong and happy must cease to be a passive receptacle for the negative beggarly and impure streams of thought, and as a wise householder commands his servants and invites his guests so must he learn to command his desires and to say with authority what thoughts he shall admit into the mansion of his soul.
James AllenYou can tell the strength of a nation by the women behind its men.
Benjamin DisraeliGiven that we are still in early 2006 the 2007 guidance is likely to be conservative with higher-than-2006 airplane deliveries better margins at both [Boeing Commercial Airplanes] and [Integrated Defense Systems] strong cash flow but low single-digit top line growth for its defense business.
Joseph CampbellThere are many ways of binding by which one can be dominated and controlled in this world but the bond of affection is the strongest. For example take the case of the humble bee which although expert at piercing hardened wood becomes caught in the embrace of its beloved flowers (as the petals close at dusk).
ChanakyaGood-looking people with strong fluoridated teeth get things handed to them on platters.
