Famous quotes containing the words total and/or strength:
“Of lower states, of acts of routine and sense, we can tell somewhat; but the masterpieces of God, the total growths and universal movements of the soul, he hideth; they are incalculable. I can know that truth is divine and helpful; but how it shall help me I can have no guess, for so to be is the sole inlet of so to know.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The strength of a man’s virtue must not be measured by his efforts, but by his ordinary life.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
