“Strength must build up, not destroy. It should outdo itself, not others who are weaker. Used without responsibility, it causes nothing but harm and death. I can lift the heaviest weights, but I cannot take the responsibility off my shoulders. Because the way we use our strength defines our fate. What traces will I leave on my path into the future? Do we really have to kill in order to live? My true strength lies in not seeing weakness as weakness. My strength needs no victims. My strength is my compassion.”

“In order for us to liberate the energy of our strength, our weakness must first have a chance to reveal itself.”

“From my weakness, I drew strength that never left me.”

“My greatest strength is the love for my people, my greatest weakness is that I love them too much.”

“My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure.”

“You have summoned me in my weakness. You must sustain me by your strength.”

“My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.”

“Strength grows from building other strength, not from trampling on weakness.”

“I know not what fear is, nor I know not what it is that I fear now; I fear not the hastening of my death, and yet I do fear the increase of the disease… my weakness is from nature, who hath but her measure, my strength is from God, who possesses and distributes infinitely.”

“I know I owe my all to Thee,
O, take this heart I cannot give.
Do Thou my Strength my Saviour be;
And make me to Thy glory live!”
