Swan Lake’ is the most difficult thing to portray for a female ballet dancer it really requires such specific qualities of articulation, agility, strength, and the arm work is something that takes a lot of training.
Benjamin Millepied
I am not yet born O fill me with strength against those who would freeze my humanity.
Louis MacNeice
I’ve always been really athletic, which really helped, because when I first started doing the training for Bulletproof Monk, it required so much strength that if I didn’t have a base I don’t really know what I would have done.
Jaime King
There is nothing respecting which a man may be so long unconscious as of the extent and strength of his prejudices.
Francis Jeffrey
It is no use painting the foot of the tree white, the strength of the bark cries out from beneath the paint.
Aime Cesaire
I felt invincible. My strength was that of a giant. God was certainly standing by me. I smashed five saloons with rocks before I ever took a hatchet.
Carry Nation
If a weakly mortal is to do anything in the world besides eat the bread thereof, there must be a determined subordination of the whole nature to the one aim no trifling with time, which is passing, with strength which is only too limited.
Beatrice Webb

John Beecher
Tonight I should like to thank all those who have shared my work and to acknowledge the debt that I owe to my wife whose encouragement to put research before all other things has been a great strength to me.
George Porter
The strength of a nation, especially of a republican nation, is in the intelligent and well ordered homes of the people.
Lydia Sigourney

Frederick Law Olmsted
Strength lies not in defence but in attack.
Adolf Hitler
The only reason I would stay away from a period piece is because sometimes the women are painted in a very stereotypical weakling, wallflower way – that’s something I don’t want to do. I want to show strength in the women I play, and a journey of some sort.
Dagmara Dominczyk
The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.
Adolf Hitler
Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die, and not a final weakness.
