స్వామి శివానంద సూక్తి

Strength is life. Weakness is death. Have strength born of wisdom of the self. Destroy all weakness by identifying your Self with the Supreme Self, the Source for all Power and Strength. Bear insult. Bear injury. This is the most important Sadhana. This will give you immense peace and strength of will. To give is to gain strength. To receive is to invite weakness. Patience strengthens the spirit, sweetens the temper, and develops the will-power.
