More From Samuel Johnson
- "The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope."
- "Small debts are like small shot; they are rattling on every side, and can scarcely be escaped without a wound: great debts are like cannon; of loud noise, but little danger."
- "It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time."
More In Birthday

- "The best way to remember your wife’s birthday is to remember it once."― E. Joseph Cossman
- "When I was a kid, for my birthday every year, my mother made me pasta bechamel, which is rigatoni with a white cream sauce."― Giada De Laurentiis
