“The anger of lovers renews the strength of love.”
Maxim 24
Sentences, The Moral Sayings of Publius Syrus, a Roman Slave
“One should be in harmony with, not in opposition to, the strength and force of the opposition.”
Source: Striking Thoughts (2000), p. 20
Context: One should be in harmony with, not in opposition to, the strength and force of the opposition. This means that one should do nothing that is not natural or spontaneous; the important thing is not to strain in any way.
“More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength.”
“Pain and suffering are the soil of strength and courage.”
