“None but the weak crave to be better than. Strong men are satisfied with their own strength.”

“Be strong! … You talk of ghosts and devils. We are the living devils. The sign of life is strength and growth. The sign of death is weakness. Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death. If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it! There is salvation only for the brave. "None but the brave deserves the fair." None but the bravest deserves salvation.”

“A strong man cannot help a weaker unless the weaker is willing to be helped, and even then the weak man must become strong of himself; he must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.”

“No one can know your strength and weakness better than yourself.”

“The strong look for more strength, the weak for excuses.”

“A strong woman who recklessly throws away her strength, she is worse than a weak woman who has never had any strength to throw away.”
