The strength was always in you. All you had to do was find it.

His lips brush my ear as his voice causes my body to come to attention. “If the night never ends, then there’s never a new day … and with a new day comes renewed hope, light.

One thing I’ve learnt about humans: you can’t judge their strength by the size of their actions, but by the devotion of an act, no matter how small.
~ Dianna Hardy
Sometimes you don’t realize your own strength until you come face to face with your greatest weakness.
~ Susan Gale
Fate lies in our hands, its just that we need to be brave enough to read it & desire enough to change it
~ Anamika Mishra
It is just the old way--that of obedience. If you have ever seen the Lord, if only from afar--if you have any vaguest suspicion that the Jew Jesus, who professed to have come from God, was a better man, a different man--one of your first duties must be to open your ears to His words and see whether they seem to you to be true. Then, if they do, to obey them with your whole strength and might. This is the way of life, which will lead a man out of its miseries into life indeed.
~ George Macdonald
I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who empowers, enriches, equips, enlightens, energizes, recreates, revives, promotes, strengthens, purifies, sponsors, and prepares me! Yes, I can... ALL THINGS, I can!

The greatest battle you must undertake, the foremost battle you must wage, the most important battle that there is, is the battle of courage versus fear – and there can be only one victor – that victor must be you and courage, or it shall be the dark side and death.
~ Kevin Michel
All he'd learned was that love was a jewel with too many facets to count. Strength and weakness running side by side through it. And that no one could give or take it with any less than an open hand.
~ Nora Roberts
Those who are not free to live as they choose are second class citizens. The weak will lose everything to the strong, even their lives.
~ Naoyuki Ochiai
My strength was returning as we went on. It occurred to me then that it was in times of struggle that I found the best parts of myself-courage, loyalty, an unexpected peace- and I always discovered what I needed to break through and go on.
~ Patrick Carman
I'd think, maybe he truly is something extraordinary. He's what he is, that's it. Maybe that makes him strong enough, being what he is.
~ Ken Kesey
Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.
~ Bear Grylls
I vowed that I would never tell anyone of my shame. They say that when you kept a secret, it eats you up inside, but I felt it was better that way. I wanted to appear strong in front of my children and my family. I didn't want anybody to know. And I would maintain my persona as Jenni, the Rivera Rebel who had never lost a fight. But deep down inside I knew I had lost a piece of myself that I would never recover. My soul had been shattered, but to the outside world I did just as I had been taught since I was a little girl; I kept my head up and continued forward. It is, after all, the Rivera way.
~ Jenni Rivera
The human body is robust. It can gather strength when it's in mortal danger.
~ Toni Morrison
That’s exactly what I’ll do, I thought to myself. After dinner, I’m going to ask BigBrother to teach me how to read this map. With Aunt Baba still in Tianjin, there’sobviously nobody looking out for me. I’ll just have to find my own way.
~ Adeline Yen Mah
Success comes with failure which leads to doubts but with determination we can still achieve.
~ Jonathan Anthony Burkett
The strength of your obstacle determines the weight of your potentials. The greater your potentials, the heavier your dunamis power must be.
A nation is not defined by its borders or the boundaries of its land mass Rather, a nation is defined by adverse people who have been unified by a cause and a value system and who are committed to a vision for the type of society they wish to live in and give to the future generations to come.
~ Fela Durotoye
A man's strength was supposed to be against the outside world: to fight it back from himself and those he took under his protection: his wife, his children, and for a man strong enough, more people still, people like his employees. To turn it inward, against the very people you had been given that strength to protect, because you couldn't deal with the outward fight, was the ultimate weakness.
~ Laura Florand
Do not lower the standard or cater to the worldly laxness of the average Christian by making the way in easy. Make sure that everyone who joins fully understands his duties and obligations and is willing, in Christ's strength, to undertake them.
~ Isabella Macdonald Alden
We all have vices, visible and invisible. Some we deliberately keep secret. Others we don’t even realize or we refuse to admit we have…Vices can be lots of fun, or they can turn your life into a living hell. Accept them for what they are, just another aspect of the mind’s creation, and you can enjoy them—if you choose—without being broken by them.- Zeena Schreck for VICE Magazine

In order to move forward, you will have to stumble along the way, but every falter in your stride just makes your next step even stronger.
~ Lindsay Chamberlin
That's why I hate the concept of falling in love. It makes you weak. It takes away your strength. Your power. Your rational sense. EVERYTHING.
~ Baka_Usagi
...whatever happens I'll not be afraid again; for, when you've once pushed through the place of torment to the peace beyond, you know that you can do it again. You know there's a strength somewhere that you can call upon. You've confidence.
~ Elizabeth Goudge
Realize your strengths, accept your weaknesses, but never become someone you don't recognize.
You know how the Eclipse of the sun shows it? Christ's strength eclipses your powerlessness in God's likeness, and there is total darkness on your weakness.
Strength, strength is what I need; nothing can be done without strength; and strength must be gained by strength.
~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
When we help others to perform at the highest level of their potential, we receive something of value; our character is strengthened.
~ Ellen J. Barrier
The tough challenges we encounters, makes us stronger, and wiser. With each victory we gain something of value; our character is strengthened.
I believe challenges are God's way of strengthening us mentally and spiritually, and yes, physically. After having won each challenge that confronted us, we are wiser and stronger.
A strength is a lot like oxygen. We don't really pay much attention to it - unless it's missing.
~ Julie Winkle Giulioni
The end is near when your strength becomes the source of discomfort.
~ Manish
Withheld potential is a CRIME TO HUMANITY
So I'll be bold, as well as strong, and use my head alongside my heart.
~ Mumford & Sons
From my weakness, I drew strength that never left me.
~ Jorge Luis Borges
Most of us, I believe, admire strength. It's something we tend to respect in others, desire for ourselves, and wish for our children. Sometimes, though, I wonder if we confuse strength with other words—like 'aggression' and even 'violence'. Real strength is neither male nor female; but it is, quite simply, one of the finest characteristics that a human being can possess.
~ Fred Rogers
