    Hmm. Mind can be very strong. So can heart. I'm not sure how to define strength though.

    Yes, SapphicHeart, no one knows for sure how to measure the strength of a muscle, opinions are varied.

  • The tongue. One can hurt others with words.  That hurt can last a lifetime.

    Strength depends on cross sectional area, so the strongest is simply the thickest.

  • I asked Mrs Didge about this. She knows a lot more about anatomy than me. 
    She said it depends on the gender. 
    In her case it's her strength of character. 
    In my case it's my mouth.

    Ummm I agree with Mrs.Didge, strength of character is pivotal in making you a good person. Mouth too is equally vital. Yesterday I was reading and very interestingly i learnt that the strength of a muscle can't be measured to perfection.

    The HEART can open big heavy doors that are closed.
    It can remove heavy walls that have been built around oneself.
    Very strong.
