When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
Audre Lorde
The failure of academic feminists to recognize difference as a crucial strength is a failure to reach beyond the first patriarchal lesson. In our world, divide and conquer must become define and empower.
Audre Lorde
When I use my strength in the service of my vision it makes no difference whether or not I am afraid.
Audre Lorde
A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law. Delicate line gathers the body's total strength in a bold balance. Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form?
Dag Hammarskjold
Life only demands from you the strength that you possess. Only one feat is possible; not to run away.
Dag Hammarskjold
The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Peace is not the absence of war, but a virtue based on strength of character.
Baruch Spinoza
I have the people behind me and the people are my strength.
Huey Newton
That strange feeling we had in the war. Have you found anything in your lives since to equal it in strength? A sort of splendid carelessness it was, holding us together.
Noel Coward
Suppressed grief suffocates, it rages within the breast, and is forced to multiply its strength.
Ovid
Courage conquers all things: it even gives strength to the body.
Ovid
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
Paul Cezanne
I have always drawn strength from being close to home.
Arthur Ashe
Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.
Michel Foucault
Freedom and order are not incompatible... truth is strength... free discussion is the very life of truth.
Thomas Huxley
Men are beginning to realize that they are not individuals but persons in society, that man alone is weak and adrift, that he must seek strength in common action.
Dorothy Day
Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength; and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.
Henry Ward Beecher
He is greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.
Henry Ward Beecher
When all is said and done, the real citadel of strength of any community is in the hearts and minds and desires of those who dwell there.
Everett Dirksen
