Letter "S" » Samuel Johnson Quotes
«I would rather be attacked than unnoticed. For the worst thing you can do to an author is to be silent as to his works. An assault upon a town is a bad thing; but starving it is still worse.»
«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.»
«Solitude is dangerous to reason, without being favorable to virtue. Remember that the solitary mortal is certainly luxurious, probably superstitious, and possibly mad.»
«No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction.»
«Be not solitary, be not idle. / Every man is, or hopes to be, an idler.»
«Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, / And pause awhile from letters, to be wise; / There mark what ills the scholar's life assail, / Toil, envy, want, the patron, and the jail.»
«About the beginning of the seventeenth century appeared a race of writers that may be termed the metaphysical poets.»
«Whatever you have spend less.»
«The true sound and strong mind is the one that can embrace equally great and small things.»
«Dear Bathurst . . . was a man to my very heart's content: he hated a fool, and he hated a rogue, and he hated a Whig; he was a very good hater.»
