The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law. Delicate line gathers the body's total strength in a bold balance. Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Leanness of body and soul may go together.
The soul has many motions, body one.
The fibers of all things have their tension and are strained like the strings of an instrument.
There are two kinds of weakness, that which breaks and that which bends.
It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.
Some people are born strong or stretchy, or with a tungsten will.
The rigid cause themselves to be broken; the pliable cause themselves to be bound.
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles.
Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.
