The disturbers of our happiness, in this world, are our desires, our griefs, and our fears.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The wise man applauds he who ...

The wise man applauds he who he thinks most virtuous; the rest of the world applauds the wealthy.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Prejudice is a great time-sav...

Prejudice is a great time-saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts. Prejudice not being founded on reason cannot be removed by argument.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Every man has something to do...

Every man has something to do which he neglects, every man has faults to conquer which he delays to combat.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

No government power can be ab...

No government power can be abused long. Mankind will not bear it.... There is a remedy in human nature against tyranny, that will keep us safe under every form of government.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Knock the 't' off the 'can't....

Knock the 't' off the 'can't.'

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Power is gradually stealing a...

Power is gradually stealing away from the many to the few, because the few are more vigilant and consistent.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

No man will be found in whose...

No man will be found in whose mind airy notions do not sometimes tyrannize, and force him to hope or fear beyond the limits of sober probability.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There are in every age new errors to be rectified and new prejudices to be opposed.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

A man's mind grows narrow in ...

A man's mind grows narrow in a narrow place.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Nothing detains the reader's ...

Nothing detains the reader's attention more powerfully than deep involutions of distress, or sudden vicissitudes of fortune; and these might be abundantly afforded by memoirs of the sons of literature. They are entangled by contracts which they know not how to fulfill, and obliged to write on subjects which they do not understand. Every publication is a new period of time, from which some increase or declension of fame is to be reckoned. The gradations of a hero's life are from battle to battle, and of an author's from book to book.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Pride is a vice, which pride ...

Pride is a vice, which pride itself inclines every man to find in others, and to overlook in himself

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Such are the vicissitudes of ...

Such are the vicissitudes of the world, through all its parts, that day and night, labor and rest, hurry and retirement, endear each other; such are the changes that keep the mind in action: we desire, we pursue, we obtain, we are satiated; we desire something else and begin a new pursuit.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

How small of all that human h...

How small of all that human hearts endure/That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Whoever commits a fraud is gu...

Whoever commits a fraud is guilty not only of the particular injury to him who he deceives, but of the diminution of that confidence which constitutes not only the ease but the existence of society.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

A mere literary man is a dull...

A mere literary man is a dull man; a man who is solely a man of business is a selfish man; but when literature and commerce are united, they make a respectable man.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

All intellectual improvement ...

All intellectual improvement arises from leisure.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The true genius is a mind of ...

The true genius is a mind of large general powers, accidentally determined to some particular direction.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The only end of writing is to...

The only end of writing is to enable readers better to enjoy life or better to endure it.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

He that outlives a wife whom ...

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.
