This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work – they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night, perhaps. – Frederick Law Olmsted
Nothing symbolizes American strength and vigor more than another unaccountable Washington bureaucrat. – Michelle Malkin

I can get any man – any man – out of there in a matter of seconds. That is the thing I love about myself. – Deontay Wilder
Movies, to a large extent, stand or fall on the strength of their scripts. But a documentary is a collection of found objects: fragments you’ve collected, accidents of interview and happenstance, pieces of stock footage that surface in the course of six to nine months of research and production. – David Fanning
When I was younger, I used to wrestle, and I feel that it contributed to my athletic ability because as a wrestler you have to be an all-encompassed athlete. You need stamina, strength, endurance and mental capacity. You also have to learn how to adapt in any situation. – Dhani Jones
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.

Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength. – Donald Trump
It is very important to me to maintain a consistent workout regimen during the season. The Bulls staff does a great job with providing me with a weekly workout, and these kept me energized throughout my rookie season. In the off season, I try to increase my strength and add new dimensions to my game. – Derrick Rose
Poesy must not be drawn by the ears: it must be gently led, or rather, it must lead, which was partly the cause that made the ancient learned affirm it was a divine, and no human skill, since all other knowledges lie ready for any that have strength of wit; a poet no industry can make, if his own genius be not carried into it. – Philip Sidney
If I wanted to have total control and be a dictator, I would do ice sculpture in my basement. If I want to make a movie, I’m going to work with 500 people, and I will have to work with their strength and their weakness. – Denis Villeneuve
We – we need strength, we need energy, we need quickness and we need brain in this country to turn it around. – Donald Trump

A coach once told me there are four factors that determine a players’ performance: his tactical awareness, his physical condition, his technical ability and his mental strength. – Gary Neville
When all is said and done, the real citadel of strength of any community is in the hearts and minds and desires of those who dwell there. – Everett Dirksen
As for my looks, if I didn’t look the way I do, I would probably be one of those many faces doing a romcom, which I detest. The way I look has somewhere defined the characters I played. My weakness has become my strength. – Emraan Hashmi
It is not a dream that someday, nations will be able to settle their difficulties without war, just as individuals now settle their personal feuds without resorting to arguments of physical strength or sharp steel. For, then, humanity will have created international jurisdiction and a power to enforce its laws. – Ellen Key
The difference in my body from pre-pregnancy to post-baby was night and day. I didn’t have the strength, I didn’t have the flexibility, I didn’t have the stamina, I didn’t have the mobility. I felt like I was handicapped. – Evangeline Lilly
A strong woman is a woman determined to do something others are determined not be done. – Marge Piercy

Stuart Hall was an utterly unique figure. Although he arrived at the age of 19 from Jamaica and spent the rest of his life here, he never felt at home in Britain. This juxtaposition was a crucial source of his strength and originality. Because of his colour and origin, he saw the country differently – not as a native, but as an outsider. – Martin Jacques

‘One Yellow Daffodil’ is both a look to the past and to the future and expresses my belief in the great spirit and strength of our children. – David A. Adler
‘In My Hands,’ the title track, is my very first vocal attempt, and I’m not a singer as such. But I’ve always wanted to express myself vocally on my albums, and I don’t really have much of a capability for singing. The strength is in, I think, the lyrics and just speaking. It just comes from inside. – Natalie MacMaster
