“God never makes us sensible of our weakness except to give us of His strength.”

“God never witholds from His child that which His love and wisdom call good. God's refusals are always merciful -- "severe mercies" at times but mercies all the same. God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.”

“Lord, may the pain be ours, And the weakness that it brings, But at least give us the strength, Of not showing it to anyone!”

“Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.”

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

“Life more often teaches us how to perfect our weaknesses than how to develop our strengths.”

“Our talents are the gift that God gives to us… What we make of our talents is our gift back to God”

“May God make us amongst those he allows to do good, and to practice it, and those who see the right path as none of us is without weakness; whosoever sees his weakness will forget those of others. May God make us die in the faith of Muhammad. Amen, Oh Master of the Universes.”

“I have come to understand that strength, inner strength, comes from receiving love as much as it comes from giving it…God's love will never change us if we don't accept it.”

“The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.”
