Quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt

Physical strength can never permanently withstand the impact of spiritual force.

Physical strength can never permanently withstand the impact

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that physical strength alone is not enough to overcome or withstand the power of spiritual force. While physical strength may be effective in the short term, it is ultimately the strength of one's beliefs, values, and inner resolve that provides true and lasting power. Physical strength alone cannot match the transformative, enduring impact of spiritual force. Ultimately, this quote suggests that physical strength is temporary and limited in comparison to the resilience and power found in spirituality.

Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.

In our most trivial walks, we are constantly, though unconsciously, steering like pilots by certain well-known beacons and headlands, and if we go beyond our usual course we still carry in our minds the bearing of some neighboring cape; and not till we are completely lost, or turned round -- for a man needs only to be turned round once with his eyes shut in this world to be lost -- do we appreciate the vastness and strangeness of nature. Every man has to learn the points of compass again as often as be awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction. Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.
