“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 Byrd
“I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection”
Thomas Paine
“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.”
Alex Karras
“I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.”
Anais Nin
“The strength of women comes from the fact that psychology cannot explain us. Men can be analyzed, women merely adored.”
Oscar Wilde
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
Lao Tzu
“Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength.”
August Wilson
