My own personal favourite Johnson quote, from the Life of Savage: "The knowledge of life was indeed his chief attainment; and it is not without some satisfaction that I can produce the suffrage of Savage in favour of human nature, of which he never appeared to entertain such odious ideas as some, who perhaps had neither his judgement nor experience, have published, either in ostentation of their sagacity, vindication of their crimes, or gratification of their malice."

He didn't write the first dictionary, but he did write the first one that used citations from authors as evidence of language use.

Both Johnson & Darwin lived within a stones throw away from where i live,good eh!

I live in Lichfield,he was born here,also his best friend was Erasmus Darwin,Charles Darwins Grandfather,he was also a philosopher,and arguably came up with the theories put forward by his Grandson.

Whats your take on "G.K.Chesterton"? My favourite from Johnson. (Note the English spelling of favourite?) "There are minds so impatient of inferiority, that their gratitude is a species of revenge, and they return benefits, not because recompense is a pleasure, but because obligation is a pain

A woman's preaching is like a dog standing on its hind legs. It is not done well but one is surprised to see it done at all.
