Famous quotes containing the words total and/or strength:
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
“We have not strength enough to follow our reason so far as it would carry us.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
