I don't like the word 'strong,' because a strong character is never an interesting character. A character is made interesting by their vulnerabilities and their weaknesses.

The strong man is strongest when alone.

All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.

The power of faith will often shine forth the most when the character is naturally weak.

Strength lies in differences, not in similarities.

It is easier to influence strong than weak characters in life.

There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit.

Elves have this superhuman strength, yet they're so graceful. Tolkien created them to be angelic spirits, but I also saw Legolas as something out of the Seven Samurai.

I don't really know how strong someone is if they're compelled to a life of violence. Is that strong? No. That's damaged.
