So I didn't adopt Homer because he was cute and little and sweet, or because he was helpless and needed me. I adopted him because when you think you see something so fundamentally worthwhile in someone else, you don't look for the reasons - like bad timing or a negative bank balance - that might keep it out of your life. You commit to being strong enough to build your life around it, no matter what. In doing so, you begin to become the thing you admire. ~ Gwen Cooper
Being Strong quotes by Gwen Cooper
Knowing how to fall is much more valuable than knowing how to walk. ~ Diogo Mainardi
Being Strong quotes by Diogo Mainardi
People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
Being Strong quotes by Leonardo Da Vinci
I'm so tired of being strong. So tired of trying to do everything myself. Is it wrong to let him comfort me? To be relieved in the false sense of security I find here. These arms will shelter me and keep me safe. Something I thought I would never want now means the world to me. Even if it is all one giant lie. ~ A. Zavarelli
Being Strong quotes by A. Zavarelli
Jesus wept, but He never complained. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Being Strong quotes by Charles Spurgeon
A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Being Strong quotes by Thomas Carlyle
To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first. William Shakespeare. ~ Lisi Harrison
Being Strong quotes by Lisi Harrison
I was being strong. Even though I felt weak. ~ Amanda Howells
Being Strong quotes by Amanda Howells
A faithful friend is a strong defense;
And he that hath found him hath found a treasure. ~ Louisa May Alcott
Being Strong quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Many men admire strong women but they don't love them. Some women succeed at being strong and also tender, but most of those who have intended to walk alone, making their own way, have lost their happiness. ~ Elsa Schiaparelli
Being Strong quotes by Elsa Schiaparelli
The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you're okay. ~ Anonymous
Being Strong quotes by Anonymous
You'll never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. ~ Nic from Tied With Me. ~ Kristen Proby
Being Strong quotes by Kristen Proby
My character is somebody who is smaller in stature and yet who's strong, so to see the fighting situations between people who are not generally thought of being strong is in itself unusual and therefore interesting, I think. ~ Chiaki Kuriyama
Being Strong quotes by Chiaki Kuriyama
Dear heart, Stop being strong and accept that you are never happy with goodbyes. ~ Nitya Prakash
Being Strong quotes by Nitya Prakash
The House, being strong, should be generous ... but the constituents have a right to more than generosity ... The law gives me my seat. In the name of the law I ask for it. I regret that my personality overshadows the principles involved in this great struggle; but I would ask those who have touched my life, not knowing it, who have found for me vices which I do not remember in the memory of my life, I would ask them whether all can afford to cast the first stone ... then that, as best judges, they will vacate their own seats, having deprived my constituents of their right here to mine. ~ Charles Bradlaugh
Being Strong quotes by Charles Bradlaugh
If God sends us on strong paths, we are provided strong shoes. ~ Corrie Ten Boom
Being Strong quotes by Corrie Ten Boom
The weak fall, but the strong will remain and never go under! ~ Anne Frank
Being Strong quotes by Anne Frank
It's the easiest thing in the world for a man to deceive himself. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Being Strong quotes by Benjamin Franklin
To me, being a man means being kind, generous, and a good provider. The most important part of being a man is being strong. Having the self-confidence to handle any situation you face, whether you live in the city and face traffic, congestion, and crowds, or you live in remote areas with wild animals and inclement weather. And it's a quiet self-confidence. A strong, self-confident man doesn't announce his strength to the world. He leads by example. He's the guy who steps up and takes charge when a challenge is faced, and then quietly fades into the background when the issue is resolved. ~ John Sowers
Being Strong quotes by John Sowers
Tears are handy for washing away troubling and sad feelings. But when you grow up, you'll learn that there are things so sad, they can never be washed away by tears. That there are painful memories that should never be washed away. So people who are truly strong laugh when they want to cry. They endure all of the pain and sorrow while laughing with everybody else. ~ Hideaki Sorachi
Being Strong quotes by Hideaki Sorachi
When I was younger, I enjoyed being strong, and I loved it when my heart was very strong, but I think it was also about submitting to the cultural idea that if you're a 22-year-old woman, you have to look a certain way. I'm not into that anymore. But I do appreciate it when my clothes fit. ~ Jennifer Beals
Being Strong quotes by Jennifer Beals
I do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back. ~ Phillips Brooks
Being Strong quotes by Phillips Brooks
Our duty as Latter-day Saints is to prepare ourselves, this earth, and its inhabitants for the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Being prepared and being strong as the gospel teaches ensure happiness here and hereafter and make this 'grand millennial mission' possible. ~ Keith B. McMullin
Being Strong quotes by Keith B. McMullin
Moving heavy objects allowed me to feel manly in the eyes of other men. With the women it didn't matter, but I enjoyed subtly intimidating the guys with bad backs who thought they were helping out by telling us how to pack the truck. The thinking was that because we were furniture movers, we obviously weren't too bright. In addition to being strong and stupid, we were also thought of as dangerous. It might have been an old story to Patrick and the others, but I got a kick out of being mistaken as volatile. All I had to do was throw down my dolly with a little extra force, and a bossy customer would say, Let's just all calm down and try to work this out. ~ David Sedaris
Being Strong quotes by David Sedaris
I also realized that in my family drama a very limited number of character traits were available to the players. In my mind, either I could be weak, wimpy, submissive, and pathetic, or I could be a raging tyrant and bully who demanded total compliance from everyone in my realm. The notion of being strong and assertive while staying calm, insisting on appropriate boundraries and on being treated with respect and dignity, were not in my realm of experience. Once I realized that I was much happier with the person I was in the rest of my life, I realized it was foolish not to be that "me" around my family as well. I began to feel liberated and genuinely felt they could take the new me or leave it. So far, they've chosen to leave it, but I feel a sense of integrity and self-respect that I had never experienced before. ~ Mark Sichel
Being Strong quotes by Mark Sichel
As if one killed by calculation! A person kills only from an impulse that springs from his blood and sinews, from the vestiges of ancient struggles, from the need to live and the joy of being strong. ~ Emile Zola
Being Strong quotes by Emile Zola
When you are subjected to this light, depending on how strong the dose is, you will have two or three days in which you can make tremendous changes within your self, in the structure of your being. ~ Frederick Lenz
Being Strong quotes by Frederick Lenz
I mean, I like to think of myself as being strong and independent, but I definitely wasn't like that at 14. ~ Alison Lohman
Being Strong quotes by Alison Lohman
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone. ~ Rumi
Being Strong quotes by Rumi
That is the Magic. Being alive is the Magic - being strong is the Magic. The Magic is in me - the Magic is in me. ~ Frances Hodgson Burnett
Being Strong quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
This is the law of the Yukon, that only the strong shall thrive; that surely the weak shall perish, and only the fit survive. ~ Robert W. Service
Being Strong quotes by Robert W. Service
Always being strong is not the same as living. ~ Erik Axl Sund
Being Strong quotes by Erik Axl Sund
In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it. ~ Lao-Tzu
Being Strong quotes by Lao-Tzu
Oh, I stand by that statement, little blossom. For you see, there's the chance you will break down and come between the two of you. Every night we're together, I will tempt you to the edge of madness. I will tease you to torments. You will have to earn Jebediah's happy life by being strong and unbending, as all good queens should be. Though this night, I'm giving you a lull. ~ A.G. Howard
Being Strong quotes by A.G. Howard
You can't understand what it's like to have the choice taken away, a man forcing himself on you. Not caring if you want or don't want… and that powerlessness. Not being strong enough to stop – not having any control. It's something that never goes away. ~ Dana Mason
Being Strong quotes by Dana Mason
Character produces endurance and persistence when the going gets tough, and life truly is an endurance race, not a sprint. ~ Zig Ziglar
Being Strong quotes by Zig Ziglar
But then I had long mistaken being spoiled for being strong, being defiant for being independent, being reckless for being brave. ~ Tami Hoag
Being Strong quotes by Tami Hoag
Toughness is not being a bully, it's having a backbone. ~ Robert Kiyosaki
Being Strong quotes by Robert Kiyosaki
There are always times in life that you don't fit in. But you have to go forward and make a place for yourself. That's what growing up is all about. Being strong and believing in yourself-even when you're most afraid. ~ Kristin Hannah
Being Strong quotes by Kristin Hannah
I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me. ~ Larry Bird
Being Strong quotes by Larry Bird
But… all I said was that I was scared."

After what you got to experience? That's smart, kid," I said. "I'm scared, too. Every time something like this happens, it scares me. But being strong doesn't get you through. Being smart does. I've beaten people and things who were stronger than I was, because they didn't use their heads, or because I used what I had better than they did. It isn't about muscle, kiddo, magical or otherwise. It's about your attitude. About your mind."

She nodded slowly and said, "About doing things for the right reasons."

You don't throw down like this just because you're strong enough to do it," I said. "You do it because you don't have much choice. You do it because it's unacceptable to walk away, and still live with yourself later."

She stared at me for a second, and then her eyes widened. "Otherwise, you're using power for the sake of using power."

I nodded. "And power tends to corrupt. It isn't hard to love using it, Molly. You've got to go in with the right attitude or…"

Or the power starts using you," she said. She'd heard the argument before, but this was the first time she said the words slowly, thoughtfully, as if she'd actually understood them, instead of just parroting them back to me. Then she looked up. "That's why you do it. Why you help people. You're using the power for someone other than yourself. ~ Jim Butcher
Being Strong quotes by Jim Butcher
For strength to bear is found in duty alone, and he is blest indeed who learns to make the joy of others cure his own heartache. ~ Drake
Being Strong quotes by Drake
If you're a real frogman," he said, "then every time a woman leaves your side, she'll feel better about herself." ... The message felt similar to what Earl had taught: being strong meant being able to do good, to lift up and protect those whose lives you touched. ~ Eric Greitens
Being Strong quotes by Eric Greitens
Perhaps I am stronger than I think. ~ Thomas Merton
Being Strong quotes by Thomas Merton
I loved Veronica right off the bat. She was so strong and I think it is so important because there are so few shows that portray women, especially young women, as being strong and being able to stand up for themselves. ~ Kristen Bell
Being Strong quotes by Kristen Bell
Be sure what you want and be sure about yourself. Fashion is not just beauty, it's about good attitude. You have to believe in yourself and be strong. ~ Adriana Lima
Being Strong quotes by Adriana Lima
Being tough isn't in and of itself a bad thing. Looking back on it, though, I can see I was too used to being strong, and never tried to understand those who were weak. I was too used to being fortunate, and didn't try to understand those less fortunate. Too used to being healthy, and didn't try to understand the pain of those who weren't. Whenever I saw a person in trouble, somebody paralyzed by events, I decided it was entirely his fault––he just wasn't trying hard enough. People who complained were just plain lazy. My outlook on life was unshakable, and practical, but lacked any human warmth. And not a single person around me pointed this out.'" - Miu ~ Haruki Murakami
Being Strong quotes by Haruki Murakami
It's interesting how we often can't see the ways in which we are being strong - like, you can't be aware of what you're doing that's tough and brave at the time that you're doing it because if you knew that it was brave, then you'd be scared. ~ Lena Dunham
Being Strong quotes by Lena Dunham
You think being a man is being strong, being hard, knowing how to defend yourself. But being a man is about learning how to walk away. ~ Ashley Walters
Being Strong quotes by Ashley Walters
You are never strong enough that you don't need help. ~ Cesar Chavez
Being Strong quotes by Cesar Chavez
I love you, Ink, and I want you-only you. Being strong doesn't mean I don't want you too. You are the only person who knows every part of my life, every part of me in it, the good and the bad and the horrible, and you still love me. You are always with me, even when you're not there. And when you're not there, I can feel it, like an empty space where you ought to be, and I can hardly wait until you're back to fill it again. Neither world feels like it fits, but we belong. ~ Dawn Metcalf
Being Strong quotes by Dawn Metcalf
Consider your self as a strong person when you have been challenged enough...(think about it) If you have allowed people to continually step all over you,then you deserve to be used as a doormat! ~ Auliq Ice
Being Strong quotes by Auliq Ice
Sometimes in love it just gets to the point where I have to give up. I have to give up trying and I have to give up believing because I know things won't change. To me, giving up isn't being weak. Giving up is being strong enough to let go. ~ Taylor Swift
Being Strong quotes by Taylor Swift
Don't ask for life to be easier if you are capable of being strong. ~ Gretl Wittgenstein
Being Strong quotes by Gretl Wittgenstein
They appear in the doorway, holding tea and toast, their faces filled with concern. I open my mouth, planning to start off with some kind of joke, and burst into tears. So much for being strong. ~ Suzanne Collins
Being Strong quotes by Suzanne Collins
I had thoroughly been a girl so long by then that I'd grown to like it, got used to it, got used to not having to lift things, and have folks make excuses for me on account of me not being strong enough, or fast enough, or powerful enough like a boy, on account of my size. But that's the thing. You can play one part in life, but you can't be that thing. You just playing it. You're not real. ~ James McBride
Being Strong quotes by James McBride
I'm just totally into being strong. There's something about wanting to get a jar or whatever out of a high cupboard, or moving a sofa over because my dog's bone rolled under it, and not having to call anyone for help. There's comfort in that. ~ Maggie Q
Being Strong quotes by Maggie Q
A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Being Strong quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I want you to be forever strong on the field, so that you will be forever strong off the field. ~ Larry Gelwix
Being Strong quotes by Larry Gelwix
Their strength was being strong enough to live no matter what happened to them. Instead of seeing their strengths, they saw what made them weak. They let their abusers win. ~ April Thompson
Being Strong quotes by April Thompson
The guilt of moving on seeps into my life every time I do something I thought I couldn't do without you. Every time I make a financial decision, I take over your job. Every time I fix the washing machine, choose a wallpaper without consulting you, I feel guilty. How dare I function without you! What could you have possibly meant to me if I can function without you? Much less, function well. Every so often I'm overwhelmed with the decisions. In those moments I hate you for leaving me. But I am stronger now, and I like being strong. And for this, I feel guilty. When can I stop proving that I loved you? When will I stop believing that loving you better might have saved you? ~ Stephanie Ericsson
Being Strong quotes by Stephanie Ericsson
Being strong was hard work, and I was ready to let someone else be strong for a little bit. Not forever, but for a little while. ~ J.C. Isabella
Being Strong quotes by J.C. Isabella
Being a survivor doesn't mean being strong - it's telling people when you need a meal or a ride, company, whatever. It's paying attention to heart wisdom, feelings, not living a role, but having a unique, authentic life, having something to contribute, finding time to love and laugh. All these things are qualities of survivors. ~ Bernie Siegel
Being Strong quotes by Bernie Siegel
To venture into space we must be strong-willed and determined. We must be fully committed to its exploration and discovery; space permits no half measures and is unforgiving of mistakes. ~ Henry Joy McCracken
Being Strong quotes by Henry Joy McCracken
Be calm, be strong, be grateful, and become a lamp full of light, that the darkness of sorrows be annihilated, and that the sun of everlasting joy arise from the dawning-place of heart and soul, shining brightly. ~ Abdu'l- Baha
Being Strong quotes by Abdu'l- Baha
Be strong, believe in who you are;
be strong, believe in what you feel. ~ Melissa Etheridge
Being Strong quotes by Melissa Etheridge
Bravery isn't just about being strong and handy with a sword. Sometimes it's about resolve...or deciding whether to face a past you'd rather forgot. ~ Julie C. Dao
Being Strong quotes by Julie C. Dao
Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Being Strong quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Better to be strong than pretty and useless. ~ Lilith Saintcrow
Being Strong quotes by Lilith Saintcrow
I am a strong individual that may seem weak; but, my strength is in my ability to stay in the fight and sure my enemies that I can take the punches; and, still stay strong in my weakness.
Because within time God will turn my weak persona to my strength. I will be able to show myself and others that being strong in a weak persona is a sign of humility. ~ Temitope Owosela
Being Strong quotes by Temitope Owosela
The weak can never forgive. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Being Strong quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
True strength is knowing that you don't have to be strong every single second of the day. ~ Mandy Hale
Being Strong quotes by Mandy Hale
Being strong is not the same as being a strong being. I should know because cowardice runs in my family, as I always run from my fears. ~ Jarod Kintz
Being Strong quotes by Jarod Kintz
gift of the broken.

it hurts but I find myself
pretending to be fine
"I'm okay" has become my favorite lie
and my smile is usually a mask
that hides the truth in what I feel
I'll say nothing because
you'll think I'm weak
I'll say nothing and let
my silence speak
the gift and curse of the broken
being able to hide behind lies
of happiness
the gift of being strong in a moment
of weakness ~ R.H. Sin
Being Strong quotes by R.H. Sin
Dissociation can enable us to withstand pain and loss under which we would otherwise break. It enables us to survive and pull through. But, a habit of continual dissociation – especially after the trauma has passed – leads to the shut-in feeling I was experiencing. While I imagined I was being strong in the face of pain, in reality, I was merely hiding. ~ Sarah Hackley
Being Strong quotes by Sarah Hackley
The key to leadership is having a vision, and being strong enough to say no and not try to please everybody. Thats a recipe for failure. Leadership is practiced through attitude and actions, rather than words and memos. ~ Matt Mickiewicz
Being Strong quotes by Matt Mickiewicz
I think scars are like battle wounds - beautiful, in a way. They show what you've been through and how strong you are for coming out of it. ~ Demi Lovato
Being Strong quotes by Demi Lovato
Always, it was claimed of her, she was strong and she was capable. You are not loved for being strong and capable if you are a female but if you are a female and you are strong and capable you will make your way without love. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Being Strong quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
Balance for me now means seeing myself as a tree, being strong enough in my roots and trunk to not be a pushover, but being flexible enough in every circumstance not to break. I am continuing to expand, but not any faster than my roots can support me. ~ Brenda Strong
Being Strong quotes by Brenda Strong
To understand what makes you future strong, and what being strong means, is to understand how and why you make choices. ~ Bill Jensen
Being Strong quotes by Bill Jensen
Strong men can always afford to be gentle. Only the weak are intent on giving as good as they get. ~ Elbert Hubbard
Being Strong quotes by Elbert Hubbard
You can be strong and true to yourself without being rude or loud. ~ Paula Radcliffe
Being Strong quotes by Paula Radcliffe
Being strong is important. But knowing who you can count on is equally important ~ Niki Burnham
Being Strong quotes by Niki Burnham
The idea of being strong for someone else having never entered their heads, I find myself in the position of having to console them. Since I'm the person going in to be slaughtered, this is somewhat annoying. ~ Suzanne Collins
Being Strong quotes by Suzanne Collins
I want to weep, she thought. I want to be comforted. I'm so tired of being strong. I want to be foolish and frightened for once. Just for a small while, that's all ... a day ... an hour. ~ George R R Martin
Being Strong quotes by George R R Martin
I am trying to find the courage to be tender in my life. I know violence is weakness. Only the gentle are ever really strong. ~ James Dean
Being Strong quotes by James Dean
When people talk of the economy being strong, they don't seem to feel that they, too, are better off. ~ Daniel Kahneman
Being Strong quotes by Daniel Kahneman
Christ, he thinks, by my age I ought to know. You don't get on by being original. You don't get on by being bright. You don't get on by being strong. You get on by being a subtle crook; somehow he thinks that's what Norris is, and he feels an irrational dislike taking root, and he tries to dismiss it, because he prefers his dislikes rational, but after all, these circumstances are extreme, the cardinal in the mud, the humiliating tussle to get him back in the saddle, the talking, talking, on the barge, and worse, the talking, talking on his knees, as if Wolsey's unraveling, in a great unweaving of scarlet thread that might lead you back into a scarlet labyrinth, with a dying monster at its heart. ~ Hilary Mantel
Being Strong quotes by Hilary Mantel
Submission doesn't mean weakness; it means exploring your wants and desires and being strong enough to give control of yourself to someone else. ~ Melinda Barron
Being Strong quotes by Melinda Barron
A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong. ~ Tecumseh
Being Strong quotes by Tecumseh
But this is not difficult, O Athenians! to escape death; but it is much more difficult to avoid depravity, for it runs swifter than death. And now I, being slow and aged, am overtaken by the slower of the two; but my accusers, being strong and active, have been overtaken by the swifter, wickedness. And now I depart, condemned by you to death; but they condemned by truth, as guilty of iniquity and injustice: and I abide my sentence, and so do they. These things, perhaps, ought so to be, and I think that they are for the best. ~ Plato
Being Strong quotes by Plato
You can't really be strong until you see a funny side to things. ~ Ken Kesey
Being Strong quotes by Ken Kesey
It turns out the mark of a happy life isn't staying just one step ahead of the grim reaper. It's knowing you're strong. ~ Robyn Carr
Being Strong quotes by Robyn Carr
Being the first to cross the finish line makes you a winner in only one phase of life. It's what you do after you cross the line that really counts. ~ Ralph Boston
Being Strong quotes by Ralph Boston
A bridge can still be built, while the bitter waters are flowing beneath. ~ Anthony Liccione
Being Strong quotes by Anthony Liccione
Especially in entertainment geared toward young people, the women are much stronger than they used to be. There's not really the damsel in distress anymore. I think the stereotype still possibly lives in different genre pictures but, in entertainment for the younger generation, they're used to women being equal and being strong. I think if you don't portray that, it would be kind of weird. ~ Jessica Alba
Being Strong quotes by Jessica Alba
It has always seemed that a fear of judgment is the mark of guilt and the burden of insecurity. ~ Criss Jami
Being Strong quotes by Criss Jami
Our strength lies, not alone in our proving grounds and our stockpiles, but in our ideals, our goals, and their universal appeal to all men who are struggling to breathe free. ~ Adlai Stevenson I
Being Strong quotes by Adlai Stevenson I
There's no question how strong you are." Gabe rested his fingers on her shoulders and pressed into the tight muscles. She didn't push him away. "But being strong doesn't mean you have to be alone. ~ Kishan Paul
Being Strong quotes by Kishan Paul
In our community, we have a duty to strengthen the weakest among us to build a better society. ~ Bill Courtney
Being Strong quotes by Bill Courtney
