The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Strength does not come from winning. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
The weak can never forgive.
If we were strong, self-respecting and not susceptible to frightfulness, the foreign rulers would have been powerless for mischief.
A definite forgiveness would mean a definite recognition of our strength.
True knowledge gives a moral standing and moral strength.
A person who has truly realized the principle of nonviolence has the God given strength for his weapon, and the world has not yet known anything that can match it.
If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.
Selfless action is a source of strength.
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.
If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible.
