Additional quotes by Samuel Johnson

Towering is the confidence of twenty-one.

God Himself, sir, does not propose to judge a man until his life is over. Why should you and I?

In misery's darkest cavern known,
His useful care was ever nigh
Where hopeless anguish pour'd his groan,
And lonely want retir'd to die.

There is in this world no real delight (excepting those of sensuality), but exchange of ideas in conversation. - Samuel Johnson
