Samuel Johnson

September 18th, 2017 @ 8:30 am PDT

A few excellent Samuel Johnson quotes

Samuel Johnson

Happy birthday to Samuel Johnson, born on this date in 1709. Johnson is one of the most-quoted authors in the English language, thanks to his biographer, James Boswell. Here are a few of my favorites:

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.

A decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization.
