QUOTES: Strength

Strength isn't about bearing a cross of grief or shame.  

Strength comes from choosing your own path, 

and living with the consequences.

The moment will arrive when you are comfortable with who you are, and what you are– bald or old or fat or poor, successful or struggling-- when you don't feel the need to apologize for anything or to deny anything. To be comfortable in your own skin is the beginning of strength.

~Charles B. Handy

Strength is the capacity 

to break a Hershey bar 

into four pieces with your bare hands - 

and then eat just one of the pieces.

~Judith Viorst
