Dishonor waits on perfidy. A man should blush to think a falsehood; it is the crime of cowards.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Distance either of time or pla...

Distance either of time or place is sufficient to reconcile weak minds to wonderful relations.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

No money is better spent than ...

No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction. A man is pleased that his wife is dressed as well as other people, and the wife is pleased that she is dressed.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

I am always for getting a boy ...

I am always for getting a boy forward in his learning, for that is sure good. I would let him at first read any English book which happens to engage his attention; because you have done a great deal when you have brought him to have entertainment from a book. He'll get better books afterwards.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

It is wonderful what a differe...

It is wonderful what a difference learning makes upon people even in the common intercourse of life, which does not appear to be much connected with it.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

When emulation leads us to str...

When emulation leads us to strive for self-elevation by merit alone, and not by belittling another, then it is one of the grandest possible incentives to action.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Where there is emulation, there will be vanity; where there is vanity, there will be folly.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Pound St. Paul's Church into a...

Pound St. Paul's Church into atoms, and consider any single atom; it is to be sure, good for nothing; but put all these atoms together, and you have St. Paul's Church. So it is with human felicity, which is made up of many ingredients, each of which may be shown to be very insignificant.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Providence has fixed the limit...

Providence has fixed the limits of human enjoyment by immovable boundaries, and has set different gratifications at such a distance from each other, that no art or power can bring them together. This great law it is the business of every rational being to understand, that life may not pass away in an attempt to make contradictions consistent, to combine opposite qualities, and to unite things which the nature of their being must always keep asunder.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The gloomy and the resentful a...

The gloomy and the resentful are always found among those who have nothing to do or who do nothing.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

You cannot give me an instance...

You cannot give me an instance of any man who is permitted to lay out his own time contriving not to have tedious hours.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

As all error is meanness, it is incumbent on every man who consults his own dignity, to retract it as soon as he discovers it.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

No man can have much kindness ...

No man can have much kindness for him by whom he does not believe himself esteemed, and nothing so evidently proves esteem as imitation.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

To revenge reasonable incredul...

To revenge reasonable incredulity by refusing evidence, is a degree of insolence with which the world is not yet acquainted; and stubborn audacity is the last refuge of guilt.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Never believe extraordinary characters which you hear of people. Depend upon it, they are exaggerated. You do not see one man shoot a great deal higher than another.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Such is the constitution of Man that labor may be said to be its own re-ward.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

He who is extravagant will quickly become poor; and poverty will enforce dependence, and invite corruption.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Profuseness is a cruel and crafty demon, that gradually involves her followers in dependence and debt; that is, fetters them with irons that enter into their souls.
