No man is much regarded by the rest of the world. He that considers how little he dwells upon the condition of others, will learn how little the attention of others is attracted by himself. While we see multitudes passing before us, of whom perhaps not one appears to deserve our notice or excites our sympathy, we should remember, that we likewise are lost in the same throng, that the eye which happens to glance upon us is turned in a moment on him that follows us, and that the utmost which we can reasonably hope or fear is to fill a vacant hour with prattle, and be forgotten.
Samuel JohnsonLife is not long, and too much of it must not pass in idle deliberation how it shall be spent.
Samuel JohnsonRevenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.
Samuel JohnsonCommerce can never be at a stop while one man wants what another can supply; and credit will never be denied, while it is likely to be repaid with profit.
