Famous quotes containing the words total and/or strength:
“Luxury, or a refinement on the pleasures and conveniences of life, had long been supposed the source of every corruption in government, and the immediate cause of faction, sedition, civil wars, and the total loss of liberty. It was, therefore, universally regarded as a vice, and was an object of declamation to all satyrists, and severe moralists.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Concentration is the secret of strength in politics, in war, in trade, in short in all management of human affairs.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
