	"We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself." - -- Samuel johnson

Top 5 quotes from Samuel johnson

"It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time."
"If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone."
"Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful."
"If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself alone. A man should keep his friendships in constant repair."
"Patriotism having become one of our topics, Johnson suddenly uttered, in a strong determined tone, an apophthegm, at which many will start: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." But let it be considered that he did not mean a real and generous love of our country, but that pretended patriotism which so many, in all ages and countries, have made a cloak of self- interest."
