More From Samuel Johnson

When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. it is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.
Jobs War Men
Poor human nature cannot do everything; and kindness is too often left uncultivated, because men do not sufficiently understand its value. men may be charitable, yet not kind; merciful, yet not kind; self-denying, yet not kind. if they would add a little common kindness to their uncommon graces, they would convert ten where they now only abate the prejudice of one.
Kindness Men Self
Beneficence is a duty. he who frequently practices it, and sees his benevolent intentions realized, at length comes really to love him to whom he has done good. when, therefore, it is said, "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," it is not meant, thou shalt love him first and do him good in consequence of that love, but, thou shalt do good to thy neighbor; and this thy beneficence will engender in thee that love to mankind which is the fulness and consummation of the inclination to do good.
Practice Done Charity
Research has shown that a simple act of kindness directed toward another improves the functioning of the immune system and stimulates the production of serotonin in both the recipient of the kindness and the person extending the kindness. kindness extended, received or observed beneficially impacts the physical health and feelings of everyone involved.
Kindness Simple Impact
Right from the moment of our birth, we are under the care and kindness of our parents, and then later on in our life when we are oppressed by sickness and become old, we are again dependent on the kindness of others. since at the beginning and end of our lives we are so dependent on other's kindness, how can it be in the middle that we would neglect kindness towards others?
Kindness Helping Others Parent
Each smallest act of kindness, reverberates across great distances and spans of time --affecting lives unknown to the one who’s generous spirit, was the source of this good echo. because kindness is passed on and grows each time it’s passed until a simple courtesy becomes an act of selfless courage, years later, and far away. likewise, each small meanness, each expression of hatred, each act of evil.
Courage Kindness Distance
Similar Quotes
To do an evil action is base; to do a good action without incurring danger is common enough; but it is the part of a good man to do great and noble deeds, though he risks every thing.

I had no advice, no counsel, no encouragement, no consolation, no assistance, no support, of any kind, from anyone, that i can call to mind, as i hope to go to heaven!
Encouragement Support Heaven
Fortune favours the audacious.
Courage Luck Favour
Long before morning i knew that what i was seeking to discover was a thing i'd always known. that all courage was a form of constancy. that it is always himself that the coward abandoned first. after this all other betrayals come easily.
Courage Morning Betrayal
