“He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity.”

“Easily mistaken, it is not about a love for adversity, it is about knowing a strength and a faith so great that adversity, in all its adverse manifestations, hardly even exists.”

“Love is like a man who doesn't know his own strength: he means well, but sometimes he crushes you.”

“He that hath truth on his side is a fool as well as a coward if he is afraid to own it because fo other mens's opinions.”

“As an unperfect actor on the stage, Who with his fear is put besides his part,Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart; So I, for fear of trust, forget to say The perfect ceremony of love's rite, And in mine own love's strength seem to decay,O'ercharg'd with burden of mine own love's might. O, let my books be then the eloquenceAnd dumb presagers of my speaking breast;Who plead for love, and look for recompense,More than that tongue that more hath more express'd.O, learn to read what silent love hath writ:To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit.”

“Passion is the great slayer of adversity. Focus on strengths and what you enjoy.”
