We seldom learn the true want of what we have till it is discovered that we can have no more.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Idleness is often covered by turbulence and hurry. He that neglects his known duty and real employment naturally endeavours to crowd his mind with something that may bar out the remembrance of his own folly, and does any thing but what he ought to do with eager diligence, that he may keep himself in his own favour.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

To have the management of the mind is a great art, and it may be attained in a considerable degree by experience and habitual exercise...Let him take a course of chemistry, or a course of rope-dance, or a course of any thing to which he is inclined at the time. Let him contrive to have as many retreats for his mind as he can, as many things to which it can fly from itself.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Curiosity is one of the perman...

Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous intellect. Every advance into knowledge opens new prospects, and produces new incitements to farther progress.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Since every man is obliged to promote happiness and virtue, he should be careful not to mislead unwary minds, by appearing to set too high a value upon things by which no real excellence is conferred.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

To hear complaints is wearisome alike to the wretched and the happy.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

What we read with inclination ...

What we read with inclination makes a much stronger impression. If we read without inclination, half the mind is employed in fixing the attention; so there is but one half to be employed on what we read.

Life is barren enough surely with all her trappings; let us be therefore cautious of how we strip her.

Reproof should not exhaust its power upon petty failings.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

All severity that does not tend to increase good, or prevent evil, is idle.

Every period of life is obliged to borrow its happiness from time to come.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Philosophers there are who try...

Philosophers there are who try to make themselves believe that this life is happy; but they believe it only while they are saying it, and never yet produced conviction in a single mind.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

No man can enjoy happiness without thinking that he enjoys it.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Health is so necessary to all ...

Health is so necessary to all the duties, as well as pleasures of life, that the crime of squandering it is equal to the folly.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

To preserve health is a moral ...

To preserve health is a moral and religious duty, for health is the basis of all social virtues. We can no longer be useful when not well.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Hope itself is a species of ha...

Hope itself is a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords; but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Hope is necessary in every con...

Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness and captivity would, without this comfort, be insupportable.
