We love to overlook the bounda...

We love to overlook the boundaries which we do not wish to pass.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There is no wisdom in useless ...

There is no wisdom in useless and hopeless sorrow, but there is something in it so like virtue, that he who is wholly without it cannot be loved.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Never, my dear Sir, do you tak...

Never, my dear Sir, do you take it into your head that I do not love you; you may settle yourself in full confidence both of my love and my esteem; I love you as a kind man, I value you as a worthy man, and hope in time to reverence you as a man of exemplary piety.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

He that outlives a wife whom h...

He that outlives a wife whom he has long loved, sees himself disjoined from the only mind that has the same hopes, and fears, and interest; from the only companion with whom he has shared much good and evil; and with whom he could set his mind at liberty, to retrace the past or anticipate the future. The continuity of being is lacerated; the settled course of sentiment and action is stopped; and life stands suspended and motionless.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

A man who is good enough to go...

A man who is good enough to go to heaven is not good enough to be a clergyman.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Our minds should not be empty ...

Our minds should not be empty because if they are not preoccupied by good, evil will break in upon them.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Sir, I do not call a gamester ...

Sir, I do not call a gamester a dishonest man; but I call him an unsociable man, an unprofitable man. Gaming is a mode of transferring property without producing any intermediate good.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Being reproached for giving to...

Being reproached for giving to an unworthy person, Aristotle said, I did not give it to the man, but to humanity.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Try and forget our cares and s...

Try and forget our cares and sickness, and contribute, as we can to the happiness of each other.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

I would not give half a guinea...

I would not give half a guinea to live under one form of government rather than another. It is of no moment to the happiness of an individual.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Every other enjoyment malice m...

Every other enjoyment malice may destroy; every other panegyric envy may withhold; but no human power can deprive the boaster of his own encomiums.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

All envy is proportionate to d...

All envy is proportionate to desire; we are uneasy at the attainments of another, according as we think our own happiness would be advanced by the addition of that which he withholds from us.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Very few live by choice. Every...

Very few live by choice. Every man is placed in his present condition by causes which acted without his foresight, and with which he did not always willingly cooperate; and therefore you will rarely meet one who does not think the lot of his neighbor better than his own.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

A man is very apt to complain ...

A man is very apt to complain of the ingratitude of those who have risen far above him.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

His scorn of the great is repe...

His scorn of the great is repeated too often to be real; no man thinks much of that which he despises.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Deign on the passing world to ...

Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, And pause a while from learning to be wise. There mark what ills the scholar's life assail,- Toil, envy, want, the patron, and the jail.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The main of life is composed o...

The main of life is composed of small incidents and petty occurrences; of wishes for objects not remote, and grief for disappointments of no fatal consequence....

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

To those who have lived long t...

To those who have lived long together, everything heard and everything seen recalls some pleasure communicated, some benefit conferred, some petty quarrel or some slight endearment. Esteem of great powers, or amiable qualities newly discovered may embroider a day or a week, but a friendship of twenty years is interwoven with the texture of life.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The mental disease of the pres...

The mental disease of the present generation is impatience of study, contempt of the great masters of ancient wisdom, and a disposition to rely wholly upon unassisted genius and natural sagacity.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

I do not much wish well to dis...

I do not much wish well to discoveries, for I am always afraid they will end in conquest and robbery.
