• We want strength, strength, and every time strength.

• Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is any sin, this is the only sin----------------------to say that you are weak, or others are weak.

• Is there a greater strength than that of knowledge?

• Is there a greater strength than that of knowledge?

• Purity is strength.

• Strength is in goodness, in purity.

• The remedy for weakness is not brooding over weakness, but thinking of strength.

• If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it.

• The best guide in life is strength.

• Strength, strength it is that we want so much in this life, for what we call sin and sorrow have all one cause, and that is our weakness.

• We are lions in sheep’s clothing of habit, we are hypnotised into weakness by our surroundings.

• Never say man is weak.

• It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.

• Strength is the medicine which the poor must have when tyrannized over by the rich.

• Strength is the medicine for the world’s disease.

• We are weak because we are ignorant.

• Strength is the medicine that the ignorant must have when oppressed by the learned.

• Do not believe that you are weak.

• The will is stronger than anything else. Everything must go down before the will, for that comes from God and God Himself; a pure and a strong Will is omnipotent. Do you not believe in it?

• Arise, awake! Awake from this hypnotism of weakness.

• Goodness is strength.

• Know that all sins and all evils can be summed up in that one word----------weakness. It is weakness that is the motive power in all evil-doing. It is weakness that is the source of all selfishness. It is weakness that makes men injure others. It is weakness that makes them manifest what they are not in reality.

• We speak of many things parrot-like, but never do them; speaking and not doing has become a habit with us. What is the cause of that? Physical weakness. This sort of weak brain is not able to do anything. We must strengthen it. First of all our young men must be strong. Religion will come afterwards. You will be nearer to Heaven through football than through a study of the Gita. You will understand Gita better with your biceps, your muscles, a little stronger. You will understand the mighty genius and the mighty strength of Krishna better with a little of strong blood in you. You will understand the Upanishads better and the glory of the Atman when your body stands firm upon your feet and you feel yourselves as men.

• Avoid weakness and slavery.

• Never allow weakness to overtake your mind.

• Strength is in goodness, in purity.

• Never tell yourselves or others that you are weak.

• Weakness is constant strain.

• This is the one question I put to every man…………………Are you strong? Do you feel strength? -------for I know it is truth alone that gives strength……………..Strength is the medicine for the world’s disease.
