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)
“Few serve truth in truth because only few have the pure will to be just, and of those again very few have the strength to be just.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
