About This Quote

In the words of the late great Ernest Hemingway, “Better to be strong than pretty and useless.” This quote is a great reminder that physical strength isn’t everything. Of course, a person who is physically strong can be a lot of fun to be around. But that doesn’t mean they are likely to be a good friend or teammate. A person who is physically strong but mentally weak will bring everyone down with them. A person who is physically weak but mentally strong will make friends and work well with others.
