Quote by Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

• A second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

• Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.

• A man of genius has been seldom ruined but by himself.

• The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

• No man but a blockhead ever wrote, except for money.

• The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading, in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book.
