In my own relationships I know that I should break up with someone who doesn't encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what's best in my life so if you're dating someone who doesn't want you to be the best person you can be you shouldn't be dating them.

Coming through the fire and through the storm of life with a strong man my fiance Ashanti whom I've been dating for eight months and two wonderful children beside me I'm just so happy that I have been able to maintain my integrity and get to where I am today with the right energy around me.

I was born and raised in the high desert of Nevada in a tiny town called Searchlight. My dad was a hard rock miner. My mom took in wash. I grew up around people of strong values - even if they rarely talked about them.

And my dad wanted me to play the trumpet because that's what he liked. His idol was Louis Armstrong. My dad thought my teeth came together in a way that was perfect for playing the trumpet.

I wanted my children to have the same exposure to the water I had. My strongest memories of Northeast Harbor are going in a small Whaler with my dad looking for osprey.

A large part of my life revolves around my dad. Sometimes I even feel a strong sense of connection something very tangible when I learn something new in the martial arts.

My Dad is my hero. He's 85 now and he is in great health. He is handsome and strong. He has an incredible moral and ethical backbone. I couldn't have been luckier with my parents.

I was raised by free-spirited people though my father gave me a very strong work ethic.

Support the strong give courage to the timid remind the indifferent and warn the opposed.

But steel bars have never yet kept out a mob it takes something a good deal stronger: human courage backed up by the consciousness of being right.

Most of the good executives do pretty well. Because to be a good executive you have to be strong and you have to have a simple attribute that people have forgotten about - courage.

There's only one thing worse than a man who doesn't have strong likes and dislikes and that's a man who has strong likes and dislikes without the courage to voice them.

The weak in courage is strong in cunning.

Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.

I have snakes three sharks moray eels piranhas five scorpions and a bird spider. All of them are predators. They are dangerous but it's cool to have strong and powerful pets.

It's cool to express myself but I've had to learn that doing interviews isn't completely therapy - spilling everything about yourself isn't healthy all the time. But I've been through things that have made me a stronger person and if I can help some people I will.

I did find some time to go to a record store and check out 'Headstrong' actually in the racks. It was pretty cool I never thought I'd see my own CD sitting there with everyone else's. I made my Mom take lots of pics!

Draco's not really a bully. He's not exactly the biggest strongest guy in the world. He's more a rich snobby person. He thinks of himself as really cool.

If I was designing a web site for elementary school children I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has not traditionally been a strong point of most elementary schools.

All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet.

Music is the social act of communication among people a gesture of friendship the strongest there is.

The strong man is the one who is able to intercept at will the communication between the senses and the mind.

As far as I'm aware everybody in the shadow cabinet accepts that there's a compelling case on climate change and a strong scientific case.

Instead of focusing on that circumstances that you cannot change - focus strongly and powerfully on the circumstances that you can.
