A man with a good coat upon his back meets with a better reception than he who has a bad one.
Samuel JohnsonIt 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.
Samuel JohnsonFriendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions. What we have missed long enough to want it, we value more when it is regained; but that which has been lost till it is forgotten will be found at last with little gladness, and with still less if a substitute has supplied the place.
Samuel Johnson
