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.
