"Destiny is but a phrase of the weak human heart - the dark apology for every error. The strong and virtuous admit no destiny. On earth conscience guides; in heaven God watches. And destiny is but the phantom we invoke to silence the one and dethrone the other."
Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton
"The strong and virtuous admit no destiny."
Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton
"He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist in our helper."
Edmund Burke
"I do not ask to walk smooth paths nor bear an easy load. I pray for strength and fortitude to climb the rock strewn road. Give me such courage and I can scale the hardest peaks alone, And transform every stumbling block into a stepping stone."
Gale Brook Burket
"Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong."
Dr.
"I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate -- it's apathy."
Dr.
"Nothing stops the man who desires to achieve. Every obstacle is simply a course to develop his achievement muscle. It's a strengthening of his powers of accomplishment."
Eric Butterworth
"Few men during their lifetime come anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used."
Richard Evelyn Byrd
"A man with a half volition goes backwards and forwards, and makes no way on the smoothest road; a man with a whole volition advances on the roughest, and will reach his purpose, if there be even a little worthiness in it. The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder - a waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you."
Thomas Carlyle
"Don'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 tend to take care of themselves."
Dale Carnegie
"If you make a habit of sincere prayer, your life will be very noticeably and profoundly altered. Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquility of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. . . . Properly understood, prayer is a mature activity indispensable to the fullest development of personality . . . . Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strengths."
Alexis Carrel
"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts."
Rachel Louise Carson
"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these."
George Washington Carver
"To be prosperous is not to be superior, and should form no barrier between men. Wealth out not to secure the prosperous the slightest consideration. The only distinctions which should be recognized are those of the soul, of strong principle, of incorruptible integrity, of usefulness, of cultivated intellect, of fidelity in seeking the truth."
William Ellery Channing
"Never does the human soul appear so strong and noble as when it forgoes revenge and dares to forgive injury."
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die."
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
"The superior man acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity and many deeds of the past, in order to strengthen his character thereby."
I Ching
"We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."
Sir Winston Leonard Spenser Churchill
"Those who stand strong will stand forever."
Joshua D. Clark
"Know that the pain will pass, and, when it passes, you will be stronger, happier, more sensitive and aware."
Mel Colgrove
