Johnson
Johnson is a surname of English origin. The name itself is a patronym of the given name John, literally meaning "son of John". The name John derives from Latin Johannes, which is derived through Greek Ἰωάννης Iōannēs from Hebrew יוחנן Yohanan, meaning "Yahweh has favoured". The name has been extremely popular in Europe since the Christian era as a result of it being given to St John the Baptist, St John the Evangelist and nearly one thousand other Christian saints...
daughter son ideas
I am not yet so lost in lexicography, as to forget that words are the daughters of the earth, and that things are the sons of heaven. Language is only the instrument of science, and words are but the signs of ideas: I wish, however, that the instrument might be less apt to decay, and that signs might be permanent, like the things which they denote.
enlargement language stability
Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of language.
peace war purpose
As peace is the end of war, so to be idle is the ultimate purpose of the busy.
happiness trying care
Try and forget our cares and sickness, and contribute, as we can to the happiness of each other.
happiness government giving
I would not give half a guinea to live under one form of government rather than another. It is of no moment to the happiness of an individual.
pain expression pleasure
Pain is less subject than pleasure to careless expression.
pain soul way
Then with no throbs of fiery pain, No cold gradations of decay, Death broke at once the vital chain, And freed his soul the nearest way.

Who drives fat oxen should himself be fat.
advice littles good-advice
Few things are so liberally bestowed, or squandered with so little effect, as good advice.
office advice vehemence
If we consider the manner in which those who assume the office of directing the conduct of others execute their undertaking, it will not be very wonderful that their labours, however zealous or affectionate, are frequently useless. For what is the advice that is commonly given? A few general maxims, enforced with vehemence, and inculcated with importunity, but failing for want of particular reference and immediate application.
vanity advice instruction
There are few so free from vanity as not to dictate to those who will hear their instructions with a visible sense of their own beneficence.
hands medicine advice
That there is something in advice very useful and salutary, seems to be equally confessed on all hands; since even those that reject it, allow for the most part that rejection to be wrong, but charge the fault upon the unskilful manner in which it is given; they admit the efficacy of the medicine, but abhor the nauseousness of the vehicle.
perfection people advice
The desire of advising has a very extensive prevalence; and, since advice cannot be given but to those that will hear it, a patient listener is necessary to the accommodation of all those who desire to be confirmed in the opinion of their own wisdom: a patient listener, however, is not always to be had; the present age, whatever age is present, is so vitiated and disordered, that young people are readier to talk than to attend, and good counsel is only thrown away upon those who are full of their own perfections.
wise thinking being-wise
He that never thinks can never be wise.
