Our role in Israel is a pioneering one, and we need people with certain strength of fiber.

The strength of any weakness within us is the degree to which it is feared.

Eventually, we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace, contentment, happiness, strength, fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us.

The Roman legions were formed in the first instance of citizen soldiers, who yet had been made to submit to a rigid discipline, and to feel that in that submission lay their strength.

What we call a poem is mostly what is not there on the page. The strength of any poem is the poems that it has managed to exclude.
