Daily quote |
Samuel JohnsonWhen a man says he had pleasure with a woman he does not mean conversation. When any calamity has been suffered the first thing to be remembered is, how much has been escaped. When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live. When men come to like a sea-life, they are not fit to live on land. Where grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates. Whoever thinks of going to bed before twelve o'clock is a scoundrel. Wine gives a man nothing... it only puts in motion what had been locked up in frost. Wine makes a man more pleased with himself; I do not say it makes him more pleasing to others. Without frugality none can be rich, and with it very few would be poor. Words are but the signs of ideas. |
