Total So

Famous quotes containing the word total:

“It is not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger. It is not contrary to reason for me to choose my total ruin, to prevent the least uneasiness of an Indian, or person wholly unknown to me. It is as little contrary to reason to prefer even my own acknowledged lesser good to my greater, and have a more ardent affection for the former than the latter.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

“Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
