The size of a man's understanding might always be justly measured by his mirth.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

More knowledge may be gained ...

More knowledge may be gained of a man's real character by a short conversation with one of his servants than from a formal and studied narrative, begun with his pedigree and ended with his funeral.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Happiness is enjoyed only in ...

Happiness is enjoyed only in proportion as it is known; and such is the state or folly of man, that it is known only by experience of its contrary.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The world will never be long ...

The world will never be long without some good reason to hate the unhappy; their real faults are immediately detected; and if those are not sufficient to sink them into infamy, an individual weight of calumny will be super-added.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

No mind is much employed upon...

No mind is much employed upon the present; recollection and anticipation fill up almost all our moments.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

One of the amusements of idle...

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

You are much surer that you are doing good when you pay money to those who work, as the recompense of their labor, than when you give money merely in charity.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Labor, if it were not necessa...

Labor, if it were not necessary for existence, would be indispensable for the happiness of man.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Let him that desires to see o...

Let him that desires to see others happy, make haste to give while his gift can be enjoyed, and remember that every moment of delay takes away something from the value of his benefaction.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

It is not uncommon to charge ...

It is not uncommon to charge the difference between promise and performance, between profession and reality, upon deep design and studied deceit; but the truth is, that there is very little hypocrisy in the world.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

He who endeavors to please mu...

He who endeavors to please must appear pleased.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

That friendship may be at onc...

That friendship may be at once fond and lasting, there must not only be equal virtue on each part, but virtue of the same kind; not only the same end must be proposed, but the same means must be approved by both.

Language is only the instrument of science, and words are but the signs of ideas.
