Famous quotes containing the words total and/or strength:
“For, the expectation of gratitude is mean, and is continually punished by the total insensibility of the obliged person. It is a great happiness to get off without injury and heart-burning, from one who has had the ill luck to be served by you. It is a very onerous business, this being served, and the debtor naturally wishes to give you a slap.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
““You’ll have me over the cliff,” he exclaimed hardly ever yet putting out his strength against her.
“And so I will, by the help of God. Now think of her! Now think of her!” And as she spoke she pressed him backwards towards his fall.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
