Presumption will be easily corrected; but timidity is a disease of the mind more obstinate and fatal.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The necessary connexion of re...

The necessary connexion of representatives with taxes, seems to have sunk deep into many of those minds, that admit sounds, without their meaning.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Tears are often to be found w...

Tears are often to be found where there is little sorrow, and the deepest sorrow without any tears.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Political liberty is only goo...

Political liberty is only good insofar as it produces private liberty.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Sorrow is properly that state...

Sorrow is properly that state of the mind in which our desires are fixed upon the past without looking forward to the future.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The love of retirement has in...

The love of retirement has in all ages adhered closely to those minds which have been most enlarged by knowledge, or elevated by genius. Those who enjoyed everything generally supposed to confer happiness have been forced to seek it in the shades of privacy.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

None are happy but by anticip...

None are happy but by anticipation of change.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Life, however short, is made ...

Life, however short, is made still shorter by waste of time.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

If misery be the effect of vi...

If misery be the effect of virtue, it ought to be reverenced; if of ill-fortune, to be pitied; and if of vice, not to be insulted, because it is perhaps itself a punishment adequate to the crime by which it was produced.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

More is learned in a public t...

More is learned in a public than in a private school, from emulation. There is the collision of mind with mind, or the radiation of many minds pointing to one center.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

To go and see one druidical t...

To go and see one druidical temple is only to see that it is nothing, for there is neither art nor power in it; and seeing one is quite enough.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

All to whom want is terrible,...

All to whom want is terrible, upon whatever principle, ought to think themselves obliged to learn the sage maxims of our parsimonious ancestors, and attain the salutary arts of contracting expense; for without economy none can be rich, and with it few can be poor.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Economy is the parent of inte...

Economy is the parent of integrity, of liberty, and of ease, and the beauteous sister of temperance, of cheerfulness and health.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

So scanty is our present allo...

So scanty is our present allowance of happiness that in many situations life could scarcely be supported if hope were not allowed to relieve the present hour by pleasures borrowed from the future.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Wheresoe'er I turn my view, A...

Wheresoe'er I turn my view, All is strange, yet nothing new: Endless labor all along, Endless labor to be wrong: Phrase that Time has flung away; Uncouth words in disarray, Trick'd in antique ruff and bonnet, Ode, and elegy, and sonnet.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The love of fame is a passion...

The love of fame is a passion natural and universal, which no man, however high or mean, however wise or ignorant, was yet able to despise.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Let us be quick to repent of ...

Let us be quick to repent of injuries while repentance may not be a barren anguish.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

A woman of fortune being used...

A woman of fortune being used the handling of money, spends it judiciously; but a woman who gets the command of money for the first time upon her marriage, has such a gust in spending it, that she throws it away with great profusion.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

We seldom require more to the...

We seldom require more to the happiness of the present hour than to surpass him that stands next before us.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The king who makes war on his enemies tenderly distresses his subjects most cruelly.
