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)

    When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
