Never trust your tongue when your heart is bitter.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Such is the common process of marriage. A youth and maiden exchange meeting by chance, or brought together by artifice, exchange glances, reciprocate civilities, go home, and dream of one another. Having little to divert attention, or diversify thought, they find themselves uneasy when they are apart, and therefore conclude that they shall be happy together. They marry, and discover what nothing but voluntary blindness had before concealed; they wear out life in altercations, and charge nature with cruelty.

Men have been wise in many different modes; but they have always laughed the same way.

Babies do not want to hear about babies; they like to be told of giants and castles.

There should be a stated day for commemorating the birthday of our Savior, because there is danger that what may be done on any day, will be neglected.

The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.

A writer only begins a book. A reader finishes it.

I do not care to speak ill of a man behind his back, but I believe he is an attorney.

You raise your voice when you should reinforce your argument.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There are innumerable questions to which the inquisitive mind can in this state receive no answer: Why do you and I exist? Why was this world created? Since it was to be created, why was it not created sooner?

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Criticism is a study by which ...

Criticism is a study by which men grow important and formidable at very small expense. He whom nature has made weak, and idleness keeps ignorant, may yet support his vanity by the name of a critic.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

That eminence of learning is n...

That eminence of learning is not to be gained without labour, at least equal to that which any other kind of greatness can require, will be allowed by those who wish to elevate the character of a scholar; since they cannot but know that every human acquisition is valuable in proportion to the difficulty of its attainment.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Where there is no difficulty t...

Where there is no difficulty there is no praise.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

No man can perform so little a...

No man can perform so little as not to have reason to congratulate himself on his merits, when he beholds the multitude that live in total idleness, and have never yet endeavoured to be useful.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

All industry must be excited b...

All industry must be excited by hope.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

He that floats lazily down the...

He that floats lazily down the stream, in pursuit of something borne along by the same current, will find himself indeed moved forward; but unless he lays his hand to the oar, and increases his speed by his own labour, must be always at the same distance from that which he is following.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

To strive with difficulties, a...

To strive with difficulties, and to conquer them, is the highest human felicity; the next is, to strive, and deserve to conquer: but he whose life has passed without a contest, and who can boast neither success nor merit, can survey himself only as a useless filler of existence; ad if he is content with his own character, must owe his satisfaction to insensibility.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

When any anxiety or gloom of t...

When any anxiety or gloom of the mind takes hold of you, make it a rule not to publish it by complaining; but exert yourselves to hide it, and by endeavoring to hide it you drive it away.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

When any fit of gloominess, or...

When any fit of gloominess, or perversion of mind, lays hold upon you, make it a rule not to publish it by complaints.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Those who attempt nothing them...

Those who attempt nothing themselves think every thing easily performed, and consider the unsuccessful always as criminal.
