Famous quotes containing the words total and/or strength:
“It is not an exaggeration to say that play is as basic to your child’s total development as good food, cleanliness, and rest.”
—Joanne E. Oppenheim (20th century)
“Fearlessness is a more than ordinary strength of mind, which raises the soul above the troubles, disorders, and emotions which the prospect of great dangers are used to produce. And by this inward strength it is that heroes preserve themselves in a calm and quiet state, and enjoy a presence of mind and the free use of their reason in the midst of those terrible accidents that amaze and confound other people.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
