Samuel Johnson quotes

English critic, biographer, essayist, poet and lexicographer, 1709-1784

Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions.

 

What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.

His enemies may indulge their pride by airy negligence and gratify their malice by quiet neutrality.

 

In order that all men may be taught to speak the truth, it is necessary that all likewise should learn to hear it

 

Your manuscript is both good and original, but the part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good.
