Additional quotes by Samuel Johnson

In a man’s letters his soul lies naked.

Which Heav'n may hear, nor deem Religion vain.
Still raise for Good the supplicating Voice,
But leave to Heav'n the Measure and the Choice.

The noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees, is the high road that leads him to England!
