QUOTATIONBY SAMUEL JOHNSON
Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome. Samuel Johnson
The feeling of friendship is like that of being comfortably filled with roast beef, love, like being enlivened with champagne. Samuel Johnson
That friendship may be at once fond and lasting, there must not only be equal virtue on each part but virtue of the same kind, not only the same and must be proposed but the same means must be approved by both. Samuel Johnson
It is not from reason and prudence that people marry, but from inclination, Samuel Johnson
Marriage has many pains, but Celibacy has no pleasures. Samuel Johnson
Life affords no highs pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes and seeing them gratified. He that labors in any great or laudable undertaking has his fatigues first supported by hope and afterwards rewarded by joy... to strive with difficulties and to conquer them is the highest human felicity. Samuel Johnson
We are convinced that happiness is never to be found and each believes. It is possessed by others to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself. Samuel Johnson

All intellectual Improvement arises from leisure. Samuel Johnson
He that teaches us anything, which we knew not before is undoubtedly to be reverenced as a master. Samuel Johnson
Ignorance, when voluntary, is criminal and a man may be properly charged with that evil which he neglected or refused to learn how to prevent. Samuel Johnson
A desire of knowledge is the nature failing of mankind and every human being whose mind is not debauched will be willing to give all that he has to get knowledge. Samuel Johnson
He that reads and grows no wiser seldom suspect his own deficiency but complains of hard words and obscure sentences, and asks. Why books are written which cannot be understood. Samuel Johnson
Knowledge is more than equivalent to force. Samuel Johnson
Knowledge is of two kinds; we know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it. Samuel Johnson
A man ought to read just as his inclination leads him. For what he reads as a task will to time little good. SAMUEL JOHNSON
Almost every man wastes part of his life in attempts to display qualities he does not possess. Samuel Johnson
