Samuel Johnson Quotes:

Ocupation: Writer

Life: September 18, 1709 - December 13, 1784

Birthday: September 18

Death: December 13

Nothing is more common than for men to make partial and absurd distinctions between vices of equal enormity, and to observe some of the divine commands with great scrupulousness, while they violate others, equally important, without any concern, or the least apparent conciousness of guilt. Alas, it is only wisdom which perceives this tragedy.
