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

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

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

Life, however short, is made ...

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

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The public pleasures of far t...

The public pleasures of far the greater part of mankind are counterfeit.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Gayety is to good-humor as pe...

Gayety is to good-humor as perfumes to vegetable fragrance: the one overpowers weak spirits; the other recreates and revives them.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There may be community of mat...

There may be community of material possessions, but there can never be community of love or esteem.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

No man is defeated without so...

No man is defeated without some resentment which will be continued with obstinacy while he believes himself in the right, and asserted with bitterness, if even to his own conscience he is detected in the wrong.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Good-humor is a state between...

Good-humor is a state between gayety and unconcern,--the act or emanation of a mind at leisure to regard the gratification of another.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

No money is better spent than...

No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction. A man is pleased that his wife is dressed as well as other people, and the wife is pleased that she is dressed.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Genius, that power which cons...

Genius, that power which constitutes a poet; that quality without which judgment is cold, and knowledge is inert; that energy which collects, combines, amplifies and animates.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

It is the care of a very great part of mankind to conceal their indigence from the rest. They support themselves by temporary expedients, and every day is lost in contriving for to-morrow.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The whole world is put in mot...

The whole world is put in motion by the wish for riches and the dread of poverty.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Irresolution and mutability a...

Irresolution and mutability are often the faults of men whose views are wide, and whose imagination is vigorous and excursive.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Piety is the only proper and ...

Piety is the only proper and adequate relief of decaying man. He that grows old without religions hopes, as he declines into imbecility, and feels pains and sorrows incessantly crowding upon him, falls into a gulf of bottomless misery, in which every reflection must plunge him deeper and deeper.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

We consider ourselves as defe...

We consider ourselves as defective in memory, either because we remember less than we desire, or less than we suppose others to remember.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

A man has no more right to sa...

A man has no more right to say an uncivil thing than to act one; no more right to say a rude thing to another than to knock him down.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The business of life is to go...

The business of life is to go forward; he who sees evil in prospect meets it in his way, and he who catches it by retrospection turns back to find it. That which is feared may sometimes be avoided, but that which is regretted to-day may be regretted again to-morrow.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Many a man is mad in certain ...

Many a man is mad in certain instances, and goes through life without having it perceived. For example, a madness has seized a person of supposing himself obliged literally to pray continually; had the madness turned the opposite way, and the person thought it a crime ever to pray, it might not improbably have continued unobserved.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Politeness is fictitious bene...

Politeness is fictitious benevolence. Depend upon it, the want of it never fails to produce something disagreeable to one or other.
