Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum

Strength comes from solitude, a waiting, a communion with the best in us, which is at one with the divine spark.
ELBERT HUBBARD
The American Bible
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 and other words--like aggression and even violence. Real strength is neither male nor female; but is, quite simply, one of the finest characteristics that any human being can possess.

FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
Genealogy of Morals
Be strong. Live honorably and with dignity. When you don't think you can, hold on.
JAMES FREY
A Million Little Pieces
The least strength suffices to break what is bruised.
