"Strength was the virtue of paganism; obedience is the virtue of Christianity." ― David Hare Topic(s): Strength More From David Hare "Poetry is the key to the hieroglyphics of nature."

More In Strength "The awareness of our own strength makes us modest."― Paul Cezanne "The type of cuisine I do, especially after being on ‘Iron Chef’ for several years, is a lot of global cuisine. My strength has always been Mediterranean cuisine across the board from Morocco, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, but I think now I’m doing a lot of very different cuisines all the time."― Cat Cora "Rosa Parks was a woman of strength, conviction, and morality. Her action on December 1, 1955, to defy the law made her a leading figure in our nation’s civil rights history."― John Shimkus
