Additional quotes by Samuel Johnson

Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life . . . the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use.

It is man's own fault, it is from want of use, if his mind grows torpid in old age.

I never have sought the world; the world was not to seek me.
