Jim Cavanaugh

The profits there are going to be huge.

Peter Greene

I think traders are quick to take profits right now, because what else is there that stocks can do for an encore in the short term? We're still in an uptrend, but the probability right now, from a technical standpoint, is that we're going to have a little more selling.

[M]an has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to having a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing about together inside his head. He doesn't think of doctrines as primarily "true" or "false," but as "academic" or "practical," "outworn" or "contemporary," "conventional" or "ruthless." Jargon, not argument, is your best ally in keeping him from the Church. Don't waste time trying to make him think that materialism is true! Make him think it is strong or stark or courageous—that it is the philosophy of the future. That's the sort of thing he cares about.

Love can't make you strong 'till love has made you weak.

Cecelia Ahern

There’s something completely unnerving about seeing your parents upset. I suppose it’s because they’re supposed to be the strong ones, but that’s not just it.

If they laugh and smack the ground saying “Bold ground,” then you pick yourself up and get on with it.

Carrie Underwood

I wouldn't go so far as to say I am a feminist, that can come off as a negative connotation. But I am a strong female.

And all the things that break you are all the things that make you strong. You can't change the past 'Cause it's gone, and you just gotta move on.

Carl Rogers

The way of being with another person which is termed empathic...means temporarily living in their life, moving abut in it delicately without making judgment... to be with another in this way means that for the time being you lay aside the views and values you hold for yourself in order to enter the other's world without prejudice...a complex, demanding, strong yet subtle and gentle way of being.
