Quote by Felicia D. Hemans

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 not developed through moments of happiness and joy, but rather through enduring periods of suffering and hardship. It implies that in times of difficulty, when one faces challenges and pain, they have the opportunity to dig deep within themselves and find the strength and resilience necessary to overcome. It suggests that strength is a product of the silent battles fought within the heart during times of long-suffering, where one draws upon their inner resources to endure and ultimately emerge stronger.

We in this country, in this generation, areby destiny rather than choicethe watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of peace on earth, good will toward men. That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. For as was written long ago: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
