I am a friend to subordination, as most conducive to the happiness of society. There is a reciprocal pleasure in governing and being governed.
Samuel JohnsonHe that pines with hunger, is in little care how others shall be fed. The poor man is seldom studious to make his grandson rich.
Samuel JohnsonReligion informs us that misery and sin were produced together. The depravation of human will was followed by a disorder of the harmony of nature; and by that Providence which often places antidotes in the neighborhood of poisons, vice was checked by misery, lest it should swell to universal and unlimited dominion.
Samuel Johnson
