More From Samuel Johnson

Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions. what we have missed long enough to want it, we value more when it is regained; but that which has been lost till it is forgotten will be found at last with little gladness, and with still less if a substitute has supplied the place.

Man is still by instinct a predatory animal given to devilish aggression. the discoveries of science have immensely increased productivity of material things. they have increased the standards of living and comfort. they have eliminated infinite drudgery. they have increased leisure. but that gives more time for devilment. the work of science has eliminated much disease and suffering. it has increased the length of life. that, together with increase in productivity, has resulted in vastly increased populations. also it increased the number of people engaged in devilment.

More and more people are becoming aware that government has nothing to give them without first taking it away from somebody else-or from themselves. increased handouts to selected groups mean merely increased taxes, or increased deficits and increased inflation.

He should have known better because, early in his learnings under his brother mahmoud, he had discovered that long human words (the longer the better) were easy, unmistakable, and rarely changed their meanings, but short words were slippery, unpredictable changing their meanings without any pattern. or so he seemed to grok. short human words were never like a short martian word - such as grok which forever meant exactly the same thing. short human words were like trying to lift water with a knife. and this had been a very short word.

Love is a blazing, crackling, green-wood flame, as much smoke as flame; friendship, married friendship particularly, is a steady,intense, comfortable fire. love, in courtship, is friendship in hope; in matrimony, friendship upon proof.

Friendship is the perfection of love, and superior to love; it is love purified, exalted, proved by experience and a consent of minds. love, madam, may, and love does, often stop short of friendship.

Similar Quotes

If the mind loves solitude, it has thereby acquired a loftier character, and it becomes still more noble when the taste is indulged in.

We can love with our minds, but can we love only with our minds? love extends itself all the time, so that we can love even with our senseless nails: we love even with our clothes, so that a sleeve can feel a sleeve.

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.

We shall not cease from exploring, and the end of our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
