Let the meek have the kingdom of heaven. The strong shall rule on earth.

Strength isn't about bearing a cross of grief or shame. Strength comes from choosing your own path, and living with the consequences.

I'd never been a good damsel in distress. I was a "hands-on" damsel.

يقولون أن الوداعة قوة هائلة

A fool mistakes meekness for weakness and a quiet tongue for an idle mind.

The way of the world isn't the strong devouring the weak, but the weak deceiving and poisoning and whispering in the ears of the strong until they become weak, too.
