Samuel Johnson


"Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.""There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.""It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.""When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.""The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.""When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.""If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone. A man, sir, should keep his friendship in a constant repair.""To keep your secret is wisdom; but to expect others to keep it is folly.""Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.""Memory is the mother of all wisdom.""Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions."
