He has the strength (and of course the limitations) of the recluse, who, though not afraid of the world, always stands at a slight angle to it.
Constantine P. Cavafy
Your greatest strength, Ray, and possibly your only strength, is in pretending that you don't understand simple things.
Ray Comfort
The deeper we look, the more we shall be convinced that the one thing wanting, which we must strive to acquire before all others, is strength — strength physical, strength mental, strength moral, but above all strength spiritual which is the one inexhaustible and imperishable source of all the others. If we have strength everything else will be added to us easily and naturally.
Sri Aurobindo
By practice and experience a man can (if the wind be of the right strength) imitate the complete sailing flight of birds by availing himself of the slight upward trend of some winds, by performing circling sweeps, and by allowing the air to carry him.
Otto Lilienthal
I walk, I lift up, I lift up heart, eyes,
Down all that glory in the heavens to glean our Saviour.Gerard Manley Hopkins
