The great American tradition is one of pluralism, not exclusive secularism. The strength of our country is reflected in the contributions that we all make to the common good. – Donald Wuerl

Strength of 100 men? I’d probably just get mad and hurt somebody and end up in jail. I think invisibility would probably be the best thing.

I think if you ask players about my game, they would say I’m pretty good at everything, but I don’t think they’d say I’m the best at certain things. Maybe that’s my strength, not having a serious weakness or many weaknesses. I just try and be solid. – Daniel Nestor
I know a lot of people who are weak, who are in a perpetual cycle of poverty and being locked up. There are guys from my neighborhood who are in jail or who are dead. It does take a certain strength to know your environment and say, ‘I can grow beyond it.’ – Mekhi Phifer
I’m not a comedian, I’m not a stand-up and I don’t come from a comedy background. I am an actor, but I’ve had a very fortunate foray into comedy, and it seems to have become a bit of a strength, and you can’t complain when you become known for something. – Darren Boyd
