Famous quotes containing the words total and/or strength:
“It is not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger. It is not contrary to reason for me to choose my total ruin, to prevent the least uneasiness of an Indian, or person wholly unknown to me. It is as little contrary to reason to prefer even my own acknowledged lesser good to my greater, and have a more ardent affection for the former than the latter.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Who among us has the strength to oppose petty egoism, those petty good feelings—pity and remorse?”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
