To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
Buddha

I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.
Marilyn Monroe

Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.
Thomas Jefferson

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.
Thomas Jefferson

We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.
Barack Obama

Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln

Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
Ronald Reagan

When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.
Napoleon Hill

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.
Winston Churchill

Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
Winston Churchill

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Mohandas Gandhi

A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.
Mohandas Gandhi

We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.
Mohandas Gandhi

Admiration for a quality or an art can be so strong that it deters us from striving to possess it.
Friedrich Nietzsche

A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
Eleanor Roosevelt

The strong man is the one who is able to intercept at will the communication between the senses and the mind.
Napoleon Bonaparte

When you do the wrong thing, knowing it is wrong, you do so because you haven't developed the habit of effectively controlling or neutralizing strong inner urges that tempt you, or because you have established the wrong habit and don't know how to eliminate them effectively.
W. Clement Stone

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this - that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made - not to understand - but to feel - as crime.
Edgar Allan Poe

He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.
Lao Tzu

In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it.
Lao Tzu
