Life is but short; no time ca...

Life is but short; no time can be afforded but for the indulgence of real sorry, or contests upon questions seriously momentous. Let us not throw away any of our days upon useless resentment, or contend who shall hold out longest in stubborn malignity. It is best not to be angry; and best, in the next place, to be quickly reconciled.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Language is the dress of thought; every time you talk your mind is on parade.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

None but a fool worries about...

None but a fool worries about things he cannot influence.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The task of an author is, eit...

The task of an author is, either to teach what is not known, or to recommend known truths by his manner of adorning them; either to let new light in upon the mind, and open new scenes to the prospect, or to vary the dress and situation of common objects, so as to give them fresh grace and more powerful attractions, to spread such flowers over the regions through which the intellect has already made its progress, as may tempt it to return, and take a second view of things hastily passed over, or negligently regarded.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Life affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties.

My dear friend, clear your mind of can't.

From thee, great God, we spring, to thee we tend,- Path, motive, guide, original, and end.

A horse that can count to ten is a remarkable horse, not a remarkable mathematician.

The really happy woman is the one who can enjoy the scenery when she has to take a detour. Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but rather a manner of traveling.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

He that would travel for the ...

He that would travel for the entertainment of others, should remember that the great object of remark is human life. Every Nation has something peculiar in its Manufactures, its Works of Genius, its Medicines, its Agriculture, its Customs, and its Policy. He only is a useful Traveller, who brings home something by which his country may be benefited; who procures some supply of Want, or some mitigation of Evil, which may enable his readers to compare their condition with that of others, to improve it whenever it is worse, and whenever it is better to enjoy it.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Men who stand in the highest ...

Men who stand in the highest ranks of society seldom hear of their faults; if by any accident an opprobrious clamour reaches their ears, flattery is always at hand to pour in her opiates, to quiet conviction and obtund remorse.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Such is the common process of...

Such is the common process of marriage. A youth and maiden exchange meeting by chance, or brought together by artifice, exchange glances, reciprocate civilities, go home, and dream of one another. Having little to divert attention, or diversify thought, they find themselves uneasy when they are apart, and therefore conclude that they shall be happy together. They marry, and discover what nothing but voluntary blindness had before concealed; they wear out life in altercations, and charge nature with cruelty.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

When any fit of gloominess, o...

When any fit of gloominess, or perversion of mind, lays hold upon you, make it a rule not to publish it by complaints, but exert your whole care to hide it; by endeavouring to hide it; you will dry it away. Be always busy.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The habit of looking on the bright side of every event is worth more than a thousand pounds a year.

There are two types of knowledge. One is knowing a thing. The other is knowing where to find it.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Every man has some favorite topic of conversation, on which, by a feigned seriousness of attention, he may be drawn to expatiate without end.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

A man who both spends and saves money is the happiest man, because he has both enjoyments.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Men more frequently require to be reminded than informed.

There must always be a struggle between a father and son, while one aims at power and the other at independence.
