GEMS OF THOUGHT
STRENGTH. Oh! it is excellent to have a giant’s strength; but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.—Shakespeare. Strength, wanting judgment and policy to rule, overturneth itself. —Horace. He who gives kindness in return for hate, Who sees his own mistakes, nor calls those fate. Who lives serenely, nor avenges wrong, He is not weak, he is divinely strong. —Richardson. Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts; not amidst joy. —Mrs Hernans. The good you do and embody gives you the only power obtainable. Evil is not power. It is a mockery of strength, which ere long betrays its weakness and falls, never to rise.— Mary Baker Eddy. Strength alone knows conflict; weakness is below even defeat, and is born vanquished.—Swetchine.
