The feeling of friendship is like that of being comfortably filled with roast beef; love, like being enlivened with champagne (Samuel Johnson Quotes)
The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading in order to write. A man will turn over half a library to make a book (Samuel Johnson Quotes)
The happiest part of a man's life is what he passes lying awake in bed in the morning (Samuel Johnson Quotes)
