“True strength cannot be measured by physical means, but by the determination to strive in your darkest hour.”

“It is only in our darkest hours that we may discover the true strength of the brilliant light within ourselves that can never, ever, be dimmed.”

“Inner strength of character cannot be measured by any means but performance in the time of need.”

“what I want you to be - I don't mean physically but morally: you are very well physically - is a firm fellow, a fine firm fellow, with a will of your own, with resolution. with determination. with strength of character that is not to be influenced except on good reason by anybody, or by anything. That's what I want you to be. That's what your father, & your mother might both have been”

“the depth of a person's character is not measured by his or her physical strength, but by the depth of his or her nobility.”

“When darkness comes and eats the light,bury your fears on sorry night.Because in the winter's darkest hours,comes the feasting of the Vours.You cannot see it, the life they stole.Your body's there, but not your soul.”
