44
45
46

118
Affirmative action is a little like the professional football draft. The NFL awards its No. 1 draft choices to the lowest-ranked team in the league. It doesn’t do this out of compassion or guilt. It’s done for mutual survival. They understand that a league can only be as strong as its weakest team.

227
I remember reading the book in high school and always thinking of Gatsby as this strong, stoic, suave, mysterious man who had everything under control.

323
When the faith is strong enough, it is sufficient just to be. It’s a journey towards simplicity, towards quietness, towards a kind of joy that is not in time.

324
325
The regulator banned cryptocurrency… then there was an order from the Supreme Court.

383

413
414
I had a very strong feeling about the Vietnam War, and I had a strong feeling about participating in it. The military draft was in place, I was summoned for a physical exam, and I was either going to be classified as fit for military service or make my objection to it. So I made my objection to it.

449
450

469
470
Failure has always made me a very strong person.

Some people see life as many steps up and try to forget where they are coming from, you understand? A little step in life on a commercial or a material level is a good step, but a big step does not mean a strong step – you tend to lose your roots – and if you don’t be careful, you can fall.
480
Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.
481
I never said I wanted a ‘happy’ life but an interesting one. From separation and loss, I have learned a lot.

482
The great lesson my mother and father gave me was almost invisible. It was a strong sense of being rooted.
483
484

486

And that’s what I’ve done – I’ve tried to keep my composure, even when things aren’t going the way I’d like.
495
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
496
In England, especially, mentally if you’re not strong it can eat you up. There’s the media, all the negativity surrounding footballers. If you’re not mentally strong, it can eat you.
497
498

499
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

In Chicago, you have an absence of strong family units, and that absence gets filled by gangs. You have a failure in the school system, after-school programs and other social programs to help keep kids off the streets. Amnesty International speaks to that in some way, by keeping these issues in the forefront.
513
We are strong supporters of First Amendment rights, and we believe free speech is a two-way street. While anyone is free to be an anti-Muslim bigot, on campus or off, CAIR is free to challenge their bigotry by speaking out against the promotion of hatred and intolerance.

522
I was surrounded by strong women so it had never even occurred to me that women were anything other than equal to men.
523
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
524
It takes a strong effort on the part of each American Indian not to become Europeanized. The strength for this effort can only come from the traditional ways, the traditional values that our elders retain.
525
526
527
I am a strong man, I am always looking forward and this is my main thing.
528
529
530
531
532
I don’t view Apple or myself as an activist. What we do is for some things where we think we have deep knowledge, or think we do, or a strong point of view, we’re not shy. We’ll stand up, speak out – even when our voice shakes.

540
We need aggressive healing, a strong voice that will continue to understand that diversity is our strength.
541
542
A horse is the projection of peoples’ dreams about themselves – strong, powerful, beautiful – and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.
543
544
If I could have been a marine biologist I would have, but I didn’t have that kind of intelligence. Numbers were never my strong point.
545
I worry that business leaders are more interested in material gain than they are in having the patience to build up a strong organization, and a strong organization starts with caring for their people.

547
I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don’t always agree with them.
548

555
My legacy doesn’t matter. It isn’t important that I be remembered. It’s important that when I stand before the Lord, he says, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’ I want to finish strong.
556
557
I think scars are like battle wounds – beautiful, in a way. They show what you’ve been through and how strong you are for coming out of it.
558
559
560
561
The great constitutional corrective in the hands of the people against usurpation of power, or corruption by their agents is the right of suffrage; and this when used with calmness and deliberation will prove strong enough.
562

564
565
566

568
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
569
570
I was raised in a solidly upper-middle class family who had really strong values and excess was not one of the things that my family put up with. And there’s something wildy decadent about the young-star lifestyle, and I just don’t really see the point.
571
I just want to grow spiritually with the Lord. I’m keeping strong at it, just trying to make my walk with faith a little better.
572
The movie is actually from a book by Stephen King called The Body. When they were gonna put it to a motion picture, they found the story was a bit too strong for the title The Body, based on a young kid‘s movie. It would be too heavy.

589
There is a rule of Sharia: If the enemy wants to suppress you, you are supposed to put up a strong resistance.
590
Striving for success is healthy – but believing you need to succeed the first time around may backfire. Mentally strong people believe failure is part of the process toward a long journey to success. By viewing failure as a temporary setback, they’re able to bounce back and move forward with ease.

604
We need to elect leaders who have a strong moral compass. Leaders who are honest, straightforward, and tough – with a love of justice and fair play.

The ‘morality of compromise’ sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don’t compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.
613
You can be shattered, and then you can put yourself back together piece by piece. But what can happen over time is this: You wake up one day and realize that you have put yourself back together completely differently. That you are whole, finally, and strong – but you are now a different shape, a different size.
614
I think it takes a strong man to be in a relationship with a strong woman. A lot of people hear the word ‘diva‘ and think of it as a negative. I see it as a positive. I want somebody who knows what they want out of life and isn’t afraid to show it.
615
I’m asked all the time in interviews about who I am, and I know a few people my age who have a strong sense of self, but I couldn’t say I know myself and sum it up and give it to you in a little package. I don’t know myself at all yet.

621
622

624
625
I think for me to be involved in a festival, there has to be a strong element of songwriting and musicianship.
626

627
If you keep on writing for three years, every day, you should be strong. Of course, you have to be strong mentally, also. But in the first place, you have to be strong physically. That is a very important thing. Physically and mentally you have to be strong.

633
634

643
I want to behave more like a boy… I want to be the strong one.
644
When I was younger, I used to pray that I would die before my mom. That’s just how much my mom meant to me. I couldn’t imagine being in this world without her. But then seeing cancer – seeing what it can do to somebody – as strong and as tough as she was, there was nothing she could do. Cancer is a dirty, dirty deal.
