Among the numerous requisites that must concur to complete an author, few are of more importance than an early entrance into the living world. the seed of knowledge may be planted in solitude, but must be cultivated in public. argumentation may be taught in colleges, and theories formed in retirement; but the artifice of embellishment and the powers of attraction can be gained only by a general converse.

More From Samuel Johnson

The seed of god is in us. if the seed had a good, wise and industrious cultivator, it would thrive all the more and grow up to god whose seed it is, and the fruit would be equal to the nature of god. now the seed of a pear tree grows into a pear tree, a hazel seed into a hazel tree, and the seed of god into god.
Christian Wise Growing Up
When a man is forced into early retirement, he is often being 'given up for a younger man.' being forced into early retirement can be to a man what being 'given up for a younger woman' is for a woman... why do many men get more upset by retirement than women do from the empty nest when their children leave home? when females retire from children, they can try a career; when a man retires from a career, his children are gone.

Knowledge Solitude May
In the world of the dreamer there was solitude: all the exaltations and joys came in the moment of preparation for living. they took place in solitude. but with action came anxiety, and the sense of insuperable effort made to match the dream, and with it came weariness, discouragement, and the flight into solitude again. and then in solitude, in the opium den of remembrance, the possibility of pleasure again.
Dream Joy Anxiety
