61 " Isn't strength the ability to renounce every lie in your heart? "

― Bisco Hatori , Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 7 (Ouran High School Host Club, #7)

62 " The beauty of collaboration between older and younger generations is that we combine strength with wisdom—a surefire way to accomplish more for the glory of God. "

― Brett Harris

63 " Oh, he did look like a deity – the perfect balance of danger and charm, he was at the same time fascinating and inaccessible, distant because of his demonstrated flawlessness, and possessing such strength of character that he was dismaying and at the same time utterly attractive in an enticing and forbidden way. "

― , Nightmarish Sacrifice

64 " Let our voices be heard. I hope they will not be shrill voices, but, I hope we shall speak with such conviction that those to whom we speak shall know of the strength of our feeling and the sincerity of our efforts. "

― Gordon B. Hinckley

65 " Each of us is aware he's a material being, subject to the laws of physiology and physics, and that the strength of all our emotions combined cannot counteract those laws. It can only hate them. The eternal belief of lovers and poets in the power of love which is more enduring that death, the finis vitae sed non amoris that has pursued us through the centuries is a lie. But this lie is not ridiculous, it's simply futile. To be a clock on the other hand, measuring the passage of time, one that is smashed and rebuilt over and again, one in whose mechanism despair and love are set in motion by the watchmaker along with the first movements of the cogs. To know one is a repeater of suffering felt ever more deeply as it becomes increasingly comical through a multiple repetitions. To replay human existence - fine. But to replay it in the way a drunk replays a corny tune pushing coins over and over into the jukebox? "

― Stanisław Lem , Solaris

66 " ...the sorrows God sent us brought comfort and strength with them, while the sorrows we brought on ourselves, through folly or wickedness, were by far the hardest to bear. "

― L.M. Montgomery , Anne of the Island (Anne of Green Gables, #3)

67 " Easily mistaken, it is not about a love for adversity, it is about knowing a strength and a faith so great that adversity, in all its adverse manifestations, hardly even exists. "

― Criss Jami , Killosophy

68 " It takes a lot of strength to hold onto and care for the things we love, so why is it that god seems to have made humans unable to conjure up that degree of power and love? "

― Ai Yazawa

69 " Humility is a virtue of the heavenly, not arrogance. Are we the most superior beast on earth? No, not in strength and not in intelligence. It is very arrogant to assume that we are the most intelligent species when we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Both rats and monkeys have been shown to learn from error, yet we have not. More people have died in the name of religion than any other cause on earth. Is massacring God’s creations really serving God – or the devil? And what father would want to see his children constantly divided and fighting? What God would allow a single human life to be sacrificed for monetary gain? Again, the Creator or the devil? "

― , Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

70 " But, as I know that strength arising from obedience has a way of simplifying things which seem impossible, my will very gladly resolves to attempt this task although the prospect seems to cause my physical nature great distress; for the Lord has not given me strength enough to enable me to wrestle continually both with sickness and with occupations of many kinds without feeling a great physical strain. May He Who has helped me by doing other and more difficult things for me help also in this: in His mercy I put my trust. "

― Teresa de Jesús , Interior Castle

71 " One reason might be that if I hadn't tripped, I'd have been hamburger.When this sort of thing occurs, people often say that there was some power greater than themselves at work. This sounds reasonable. I am just suggesting that it is not necessary to equate " greater than ourselves" with " stretched across the heavenly vault." It could mean " just slightly greater." A cocoon of energy that we carry with us, that is capable, under some conditions, of affecting physicality. Furthermore, I conjecture that the totality of all these souls is what constitutes the Godhead. I mean this in the same sense as the " Leviathan" of Thomas Hobbes, whereby man, that is everyone together, creates " that great Leviathan called a Commonwealth or State, which is but an artificial man, though of greater statute and strength than the natural, for whose protection and defense it was created." And that leads me to my Insight: God was not there at the beginning of evolution; God is what lies at the end of it. "

72 " The power within is strength of the spirit. "

73 " They looked to each other for support, for strength, and at times, motivation, to remember why and for whom they lived. "

― Mike Ericksen , Upon Destiny's Song

74 " You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. "

― Marcus Aurelius , Meditations

75 " Knowledge is strength. "

76 " May you have strength to complete studies. "

― Lailah Gifty Akita , Think Great: Be Great! (Beautiful Quotes, #1)

77 " There is strength in forgiveness. "

― Ellen Hopkins , The You I've Never Known

78 " Spirit is strength. "

79 " Without strength can we work? "

80 " Spirituality is strength of the spirit. "
