The booksellers are generous liberal-minded men.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

To forget, or pretend to do so...

To forget, or pretend to do so, to return a borrowed article, is the meanest sort of petty theft.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Differences, we know, are neve...

Differences, we know, are never so effectually laid asleep as by some common calamity; an enemy unites all to whom he threatens danger.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Such are the vicissitudes of t...

Such are the vicissitudes of the world, through all its parts, that day and night, labor and rest, hurry and retirement, endear each other; such are the changes that keep the mind in action: we desire, we pursue, we obtain, we are satiated; we desire something else and begin a new pursuit.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The general remedy of those wh...

The general remedy of those who are uneasy without knowing the cause is change of place.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Consider what importance to so...

Consider what importance to society the chastity of women is. Upon that all the property in the world depends. We hang a thief for stealing a sheep; but the unchastity of a woman transfers sheep and farm and all from the right owner.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There is such a difference bet...

There is such a difference between the pursuits of men in great cities that one part of the inhabitants lives to little other purpose than to wonder at the rest. Some have hopes and fears, wishes and aversions, which never enter into the thoughts of others, and inquiry is laboriously exerted to gain that which those who possess it are ready to throw away.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

I do not envy a clergyman's life as an easy life, nor do I envy the clergyman who makes it an easy life.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Commerce can never be at a sto...

Commerce can never be at a stop while one man wants what another can supply; and credit will never be denied, while it is likely to be repaid with profit.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Commerce however we may please...

Commerce however we may please ourselves with the contrary opinion, is one of the daughters of fortune, inconstant and deceitful as her mother. She chooses her residence where she is least expected, and shifts her abode when her continuance is, in appearance, most firmly settled.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There may be community of mate...

There may be community of material possessions, but there can never be community of love or esteem.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The botanist looks upon the astronomer as a being unworthy of his regard; and he that is glowing great and happy by electrifying a bottle wonders how the world can be engaged by trifling prattle about war and peace.

The equity of Providence has balanced peculiar sufferings with peculiar enjoyments.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Contempt is a kind of gangrene...

Contempt is a kind of gangrene which, if it seizes one part of a character, corrupts all the rest by degrees.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

No man can fall into contempt ...

No man can fall into contempt but those who deserve it.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

It is almost always the unhappiness of a victorious disputant to destroy his own authority by claiming too many consequences, or diffusing his proposition to an indefensible extent.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Every man has some favorite topic of conversation, on which, by a feigned seriousness of attention, he may be drawn to expatiate without end.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Unconstraint is the grace of conversation.

The coquette has companions, indeed, but no lovers,--for love is respectful and timorous; and where among her followers will she find a husband?

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Sir, when you have seen one green field, you have seen all green fields. Let us walk down Cheapside.
