Quote by Arthur Helps

Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts not amid joy.

Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering heart

Summary

This quote suggests that true strength is developed through enduring difficult and painful experiences, rather than finding it in moments of happiness and joy. The deep silence refers to the introspection and reflection that occurs during times of suffering, giving individuals the opportunity to understand themselves and find resilience. It implies that strength is a result of overcoming hardships and learning from them, rather than being solely tied to moments of surface-level happiness.

A man's house burns down. The smoking wreckage represents only a ruined home that was dear through years of use and pleasant associations. By and by, as the days and weeks go on, first he misses this, then that, then the other thing. And when he casts about for it he finds that it was in that house. Always it is an essential -- there was but one of its kind. It cannot be replaced. It was in that house. It is irrevocably lost. It will be years before the tale of lost essentials is complete, and not till then can he truly know the magnitude of his disaster.
