Health is certainly more valuable than money, because it is by health that money is procured.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The certainty that life cannot...

The certainty that life cannot be long, and the probability that it will be much shorter than nature allows, ought to awaken every man to the active prosecution of whatever he is desirous to perform. It is true, that no diligence can ascertain success; death may intercept the swiftest career; but he who is cut off in the execution of an honest undertaking has at least the honour of falling in his rank, and has fought the battle, though he missed the victory.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Gratitude is a fruit of great ...

Gratitude is a fruit of great cultivation; you do not find it among gross people.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Politics are now nothing more ...

Politics are now nothing more than means of rising in the world.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

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

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

He who expects much will be of...

He who expects much will be often disappointed; yet disappointment seldom cures us of expectation, or has any other effect than that of producing a moral sentence or peevish exclamation.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The pleasure of expecting enjo...

The pleasure of expecting enjoyment is often greater than that of obtaining it, and the completion of almost every wish is found a disappointment.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The supreme end of education i...

The supreme end of education is expert discernment in all things-the power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the good and the genuine to the bad and the counterfeit.

That is the happiest conversation where there is no competition, no vanity, but a calm, quiet interchange of sentiments....

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Sleep is a state in which a gr...

Sleep is a state in which a great part of every life is passed. No animal has yet been discovered, whose existence is not varied with intervals of insensibility; and some late philosophers have extended the empire of sleep over the vegetable world.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Combinations of wickedness wou...

Combinations of wickedness would overwhelm the world, by the advantage which licentious principles afford, did not those who have long practised perfidy grow faithless to each other.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Extended empires are like expa...

Extended empires are like expanded gold, exchanging solid strength for feeble splendor.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

That all who are happy are equ...

That all who are happy are equally happy is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. A small drinking glass and a large one may be equally full, but the large one holds more than the small.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Worth seeing, yes; but not wor...

Worth seeing, yes; but not worth going to see.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

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

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Sir, I have found you an argum...

Sir, I have found you an argument; but I am not obliged to find you an understanding.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Whatever you have spend less....

Whatever you have spend less.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

What ever the motive for the insult, it is always best to overlook it; for folly doesn't deserve resentment, and malice is punished by neglect.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

More knowledge may be gained of a man's real character by a short conversation with one of his servants than from a formal and studied narrative, begun with his pedigree and ended with his funeral.

The love of life is necessary to the vigorous prosecution of any undertaking
