“Strength comes from solitude, a waiting, a communion with the best in us, which is at one with the divine spark.” ~ Elbert Hubbard
“Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.” ~ Ann Landers
