JAMES LINEN

attributed, Day's Collacon

And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble

WHITNEY HOUSTON

"I Didn't Know My Own Strength"


It is the moment when our resolution seems about to become irrevocable--when the fatal iron gates are about to close upon us--that tests our strength. Then, after hours of clear reasoning and firm conviction, we snatch at any sophistry that will nullify our long struggles, and bring us the defeat that we love better than victory.

GEORGE ELIOT

The Mill on the Floss

Like the strength of a flower, pushing up through the earth
Like the strength of the rain, soaking into the ground
Like the strength of a fish, swimming against the flow
Like the strength of the sun, melting the winter snow

Like the strength of a bird, flying into the wind
Like the strength of the wind, lifting the desert sand
Like the strength of the tide, shaping the rocks and land
Like the strength of the ice, carving the mountainside

How wonderful this world
A fragment of a fiery sun
How wonderful this life
How fragile and how bold

Alone

Tags: Richard E. Byrd


When we know our own strength, we shall the better know what to undertake with hopes of success; and when we have well surveyed the powers of our own minds, and made some estimate what we may expect from them, we shall not be inclined either to sit still, and not set our thoughts on work at all, in despair of knowing anything; nor on the other side, question everything, and declaim all knowledge, because some things are not to be understood.

JOHN LOCKE

An Essay Concerning Human Understanding

Though cares and sorrows e'er must come,
Though heart be rent,
I know that God will give me strength,
When mine is spent.
