Glossary entry (derived from question below)
English term or phrase:
In kindness there is strength
Russian translation:
Сила - в доброте
English term
In kindness there is strength
"в доброте есть сила" I wasn't sure if kindness should be доброте or добротa. Is this accurate? Or is there another phrase that I could use? Thank you for your time!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

В доброте заключается сила
ИМХО, сабж призван сообщить миру о наличии силы в доброте, а не о том, в чем/где сила. Смыслы разные.

: The asker probably wants HER idea to be understood by a Russian audience -- that's what we normally use languages for

Vandheer
: Wise advice. I dunno what "Kindness is strenght" supposed to mean in English, but in Russian it's just a word salad. There is only saying "Kindness should have fists", which is actually ironical.

Your quote "Kindness should have fists" is a verse line by Stanislav Kunyayev...
