strength

As you get older, you have to be willing and able to choose your own path for your life. And once you choose it, you walk it with strength. If you meet evil along the way, know that it is supposed to make you afraid, but it__ not supposed to stop you. You walk through the fear and you walk through the evil, and you don__ let either one become your master.

In social life we hardly stop to consider how much of that daring spirit which gives mastery comes from hardness of heart rather than from high purpose, or true courage. The man who succumbs to his wife, the mother who succumbs to her daughter, the master who succumbs to his servant, is as often brought to servility by a continual aversion to the giving of pain, by a softness which causes the fretfulness of others to be an agony to himself,__s by any actual fear which the firmness of the imperious one may have produced. There is an inner softness, a thinness of the mind's skin, an incapability of seeing or even thinking of the troubles of others with equanimity, which produces a feeling akin to fear; but which is compatible not only with courage, but with absolute firmness of purpose, when the demand for firmness arises so strongly as to assert itself.

In times of suffering, may God strengthen you.

Inner voice is the divine voice.

May God grant your a great grace to live the fullness of life in the coming year.

Ahab still stood like an anvil, receiving every shock, but without the least quivering of his own.

The strength I'm looking for isn't the type where you win or lose. I'm not after a wall that'll repel power coming from outside. What I want us the kind of strength to be able to absorb that kind of power, to stand up to it. The strength to quietly endure things - unfairness, misfortunes, sadness, mistakes, misunderstandings.

A single minded vision gives strength of purpose.

We shouldn__ think about ourselves and how weak we are. Instead, we should think about God and how strong He is.

Freedom is free will.

I__e got more faith in my shotgun than any man, that__ for sure.

God will give us the strength and resources we need to live through any situation in life that He ordains.

O Lord gives us strength to do your will.
