Don't tell me of deception; a lie is a lie, whether it be a lie to the eye or a lie to the ear.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Deceit and falsehood, whatever...

Deceit and falsehood, whatever conveniences they may for a time promise or produce, are, in the sum of life, obstacles to happiness. Those who profit by the cheat distrust the deceiver; and the act by which kindness was sought puts an end to confidence.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Friendship, peculiar boon of H...

Friendship, peculiar boon of Heaven, The noble mind's delight and pride, To men and angels only given, To all the lower world denied.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Whatever withdraws us from the power of our senses; whatever makes the past, the distant, or the future predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of thinking beings.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Diligence in employments of less consequence is the most successful introduction to greater enterprises.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The imitator treads a beaten w...

The imitator treads a beaten walk, and with all his diligence can only find a few flowers or branches untouched by his predecessor, the refuse of contempt, or the omissions of negligence.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

When desperate ills demand a s...

When desperate ills demand a speedy cure, Distrust is cowardice, and prudence folly.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

A certain amount of distrust is wholesome, but not so much of others as of ourselves; neither vanity not conceit can exist in the same atmosphere with it.

A tavern chair is the throne of human felicity.

All envy is proportionate to desire.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

I wish there were some cure, l...

I wish there were some cure, like the lover's leap, for all heads of which some single idea has obtained an unreasonable and irregular possession.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Sir, there is no settling the point of precedency between a louse and a flea.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The lust of gold succeeds the ...

The lust of gold succeeds the rage of conquest; The lust of gold, unfeeling and remorseless! The last corruption of degenerate man.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Guilt has always its horrors a...

Guilt has always its horrors and solicitudes; and, to make it yet more shameful and detestable, it is doomed often to stand in awe of those to whom nothing could give influence or weight but their power of betraying.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Like an image in a dream the w...

Like an image in a dream the world is troubled by love, hatred, and other poisons. So long as the dream lasts, the image appears to be real; but on awaking it vanishes.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

The history of mankind is litt...

The history of mankind is little else than a narrative of designs which have failed and hopes that have been disappointed.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

A man should be careful never ...

A man should be careful never to tell tales of himself to his own disadvantage. People may be amused at the time, but they will be remembered, and brought out against him upon some subsequent occasion.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Hypocrisy is the necessary burden of villainy.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Every man is, or hopes to be, an idler.

Samuel Johnson 2299 quotes

Idleness and timidity often de...

Idleness and timidity often despair without being overcome, and forbear attempts for fear of being defeated; and we may promote the invigoration of faint endeavors, by showing what has already been performed.
