Faction seldom leaves a man honest, however it might find him.

Falsehood always endeavors to copy the mien and attitude of truth.

Timidity is a disease of the m...

Timidity is a disease of the mind, obstinate and fatal; for a man once persuaded that any impediment is insuperable has given it, with respect to himself, that strength and weight which it had not before.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

He that is much flattered soon learns to flatter himself.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

It requires but little acquaintance with the heart to know that woman's first wish is to be handsome; and that, consequently, the readiest method of obtaining her kindness is to praise her beauty.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Of him that hopes to be forgiv...

Of him that hopes to be forgiven it is indispensably required that he forgive. It is, therefore, superfluous to urge any other motive. On this great duty eternity is suspended, and to him that refuses to practise it, the throne of mercy is inaccessible, and the Saviour of the world has been born in vain.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

They who look but little into ...

They who look but little into futurity, have, perhaps, the quickest sensation of the present.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Gaiety is to good-humor as ani...

Gaiety is to good-humor as animal perfumes to vegetable fragrance. The one overpowers weak spirits, the other recreates and revives them. Gaiety seldom fails to give some pain; good-humor boasts no faculties which every one does not believe in his own power, and pleases principally by not offending.

Games are good or bad as to their nature; all may be perverted.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Genius, that power which const...

Genius, that power which constitutes a poet; that quality without which judgment is cold, and knowledge is inert; that energy which collects, combines, amplifies and animates.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

It is good sense applied with ...

It is good sense applied with diligence to what was at first a mere accident, and which by great application grew to be called, by the generality of mankind, a particular genius.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Glory, the casual gift of thoughtless crowds!
Glory, the bribe of avaricious virtue!

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

For gold the hireling judge distorts the laws.

The dangers gather as the treasures rise.

Gayety is to good-humor as perfumes to vegetable fragrance: the one overpowers weak spirits; the other recreates and revives them.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Good-humor is a state between ...

Good-humor is a state between gayety and unconcern,--the act or emanation of a mind at leisure to regard the gratification of another.
