There are few ways in which a man can be more innocently employed than in getting money.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There are goods so opposed tha...

There are goods so opposed that we cannot seize both, but, by too much prudence, may pass between them at too great a distance to reach either.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There is nothing which has yet...

There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There is, indeed, nothing that...

There is, indeed, nothing that so much seduces reason from vigilance, as the thought of passing life with an amiable woman.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Treating your adversary with r...

Treating your adversary with respect is striking soft in battle.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

When a man knows he is to be h...

When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

When men come to like a sea-li...

When men come to like a sea-life, they are not fit to live on land.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

All travel has its advantages....

All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

You cannot spend money in luxu...

You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more good to them by spending it in luxury, than by giving it; for by spending it in luxury, you make them exert industry, whereas by giving it, you keep them idle.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Small debts are like small sho...

Small debts are like small shot; they are rattling on every side, and can scarcely be escaped without a wound: great debts are like cannon; of loud noise, but little danger.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Such is the state of life, tha...

Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

It is not true that people are...

It is not true that people are naturally equal for no two people can be together for even a half an hour without one acquiring an evident superiority over the other.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There is nothing, Sir, too lit...

There is nothing, Sir, too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

By taking a second wife he pay...

By taking a second wife he pays the highest compliment to the first, by showing that she made him so happy as a married man, that he wishes to be so a second time.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Every man who attacks my belie...

Every man who attacks my belief, diminishes in some degree my confidence in it, and therefore makes me uneasy; and I am angry with him who makes me uneasy.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Depend upon it that if a man t...

Depend upon it that if a man talks of his misfortunes there is something in them that is not disagreeable to him; for where there is nothing but pure misery there never is any recourse to the mention of it.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

To be idle and to be poor have...

To be idle and to be poor have always been reproaches, and therefore every man endeavors with his utmost care to hide his poverty from others, and his idleness from himself.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

It is dangerous for mortal bea...

It is dangerous for mortal beauty, or terrestrial virtue, to be examined by too strong a light. The torch of Truth shows much that we cannot, and all that we would not, see.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Surely a long life must be som...

Surely a long life must be somewhat tedious, since we are forced to call in so many trifling things to help rid us of our time, which will never return.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There are few things that we s...

There are few things that we so unwillingly give up, even in advanced age, as the supposition that we still have the power of ingratiating ourselves with the fair sex.
