Concentration, memory, reasoning power, inventiveness, excellence of the senses, all are subsidiary to this.

Peter DruckerI have learned over the years that the strength in a quorum doesn't come from the number of priesthood holders in it. Nor does it come automatically from the age and maturity of the members. Rather, the strength of a quorum comes in large measure from how completely its members are united in righteousness. That unity in a strong quorum of the priesthood is not like anything I have experienced in an athletic team or club or any other organization in the world.
Henry B. EyringWe must have faith during the period of our grief. We think that our afflictions will be greater than we can bear, but we do not know the strength of our own hearts, nor the power of God. He knows all. He knows every folding of the heart and also the extent of the sorrow that he inflicts. What we think will overwhelm us entirely only subdues and conquers our pride. Our renewed spirit rises from its subjugation with a celestial strength and consolation.

There may be a million microbes of misery floating about us. Never mind! They dare not approach us, they have no power to get a hold on us, until the mind is weakened. This is the great fact: strength is life. Weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal. Weakness is constant strain and misery: weakness is death
Swami VivekanandaDo not look forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day.

He is not only with me but in me and I in Him.'

Jason MrazThere is the work of great men and there is the work of little men. Therefore it is said, 'Some labor with their minds and some labor with their strength. Those who labor with their minds govern others; those who labor with their strength are governed by others.'1 Those who are governed by others support them; those who govern them are supported by them. This is a universal principle.
MenciusAvoid providing material for the drama that is always stretched tight between parents and children; it uses up much of the childrenโs strength and wastes the love of the elders, which acts and warms even if it doesnโt comprehend.

I praise the Lord, my God, my best friend, for giving me the ability, the desire, the love and the guidance that brought me here today. Without you, I would be nothing.

With the last ounce of strength in her body, she had dragged herself to the grave of Old Dan.
