Quote by Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

• 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.

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

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

• 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.
