Samuel Johnson
-
Many things difficult to design prove easy to performance.
-
The world is seldom what it seems to man, who dimly sees, realities appear as dreams, and dreams realities.
-
It is better that some should be unhappy rather than that none should be happy, which would be the case in a general state of equality.
-
Subordination tends greatly to human happiness. Were we all upon an equality, we should have no other enjoyment than mere animal pleasure.
-
Disease generally begins that equality which death completes.
