Do stronger bases need stronger acids to neutralize them?

I know that acids and bases neutralize each other and form salt water. Do stronger acids require stronger bases to be neutralized? I have just started honors chem so excuse me if this is a very simple question.

Update:

Thanks to ChemTeam for the help

    Strong and weak refer to the degree of dissociation and not to their ability to neutralize or not neutralize. Strong acids and weak bases (or weak acids and strong bases) will neutralize each other.

    You are quite welcome. Here is my web site:

    Also, look at kentchemistry.com and kahnacademy.org

    Best wishes with all your classes!
