Strona 50 - There are few ways in which a man can be more innocently employed than in getting money.
Strona 258 - Sir, I am obliged to Mr. Dilly. I will wait upon him — ' BOSWELL. 'Provided, sir, I suppose, that the company which he is to have is agreeable to you.' JOHNSON. 'What do you mean, sir ? What do you take me for ? Do you think I am so ignorant of the world as to imagine that I am to prescribe to a gentleman what company he is to have at his table ?
Strona 87 - Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.
Strona 237 - It having been mentioned, I know not with what truth, that a certain female political writer, whose doctrines he disliked, had of late become very fond of dress, sat hours together at her toilet, and even put on rouge — JOHNSON : She is better employed at her toilet than using her pen.

The Monthly Reviewers are duller men, and are glad to read the books through.
Strona 290 - ALMIGHTY God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men ; Grant unto thy people, that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou dost promise ; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed, where true joys are to be found ; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Strona 7 - He died of a fever, exasperated, as I believe, by the fear of distress. He had raised money and squandered it, by every artifice of acquisition and folly of expense. But let not his frailties be remembered ; he was a very great man.
Strona 353 - The horror of death, which I had always observed in Dr. Johnson, appeared strong to-night.
