Daily quote |
Samuel JohnsonOf the blessings set before you make your choice, and be content. One of the disadvantages of wine is that it makes a man mistake words for thoughts. Paradise Lost is a book that, once put down, is very hard to pick up again. Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth. Power is not sufficient evidence of truth. Praise, like gold and diamonds, owes its value only to its scarcity. Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home. Promise, large promise, is the soul of an advertisement. Read over your compositions, and when you meet a passage which you think is particularly fine, strike it out. |
