It is necessary to the success of flattery, that it be accommodated to particular circumstances or characters, and enter the heart on that side where the passions are ready to receive it.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Flattery pleases very generall...

Flattery pleases very generally. In the first place, the flatterer may think what he says to be true; but, in the second place, whether he thinks so or not, he certainly thinks those whom he flatters of consequence enough to be flattered.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Happiness is enjoyed only in p...

Happiness is enjoyed only in proportion as it is known; and such is the state or folly of man, that it is known only by experience of its contrary.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The fiction of happiness is pr...

It is not uncommon to charge the difference between promise and performance, between profession and reality, upon deep design and studied deceit; but the truth is, that there is very little hypocrisy in the world.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Hypocrisy is the necessary bur...

Hypocrisy is the necessary burden of villainy, affectation part of the chosen trappings of folly; the one completes a villain, the other only finishes a fop.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Books without the knowledge of life are useless.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

It is not from reason and prudence that people marry, but from inclination.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

I would advise no man to marry who is not likely to propagate understanding.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

There is certainly no greater happiness than to be able to look back on a life usefully and virtuously employed, to trace our own progress in existence, by such tokens as excite neither shame nor sorrow.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

In lapidary inscriptions a man is not upon oath.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

No mind is much employed upon ...

No mind is much employed upon the present; recollection and anticipation fill up almost all our moments.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Of all the grief's that harass...

Of all the grief's that harass the distressed; sure the most bitter is a scornful jest.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Every man is rich or poor acco...

Every man is rich or poor according to the proportion between his desires and his enjoyments; any enlargement of wishes is therefore equally destructive to happiness with the diminution of possession, and he that teaches another to long for what he never shall obtain is no less an enemy to his quiet than if he had robbed him of part of his patrimony
