Will Johnson
inspirational humility two
When speculation has done its worst, two and two still make four.
home men honor
It is, indeed, at home that every man must be known by those who would make a just estimate either of his virtue or felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike occasional, and the mind is often dressed for show in painted honor, and fictitious benevolence.
disappointment expectations moral
He who expects much will be often disappointed; yet disappointment seldom cures us of expectation, or has any other effect than that of producing a moral sentence or peevish exclamation.
disappointment wish pleasure
The pleasure of expecting enjoyment is often greater than that of obtaining it, and the completion of almost every wish is found a disappointment.
happiness drinking insperational
That all who are happy are equally happy is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. A small drinking glass and a large one may be equally full, but the large one holds more than the small.
money
Whatever you have spend less.
gossip sublime promise
Advertisements are now so numerous that they are very negligently perused, and it is therefore become necessary to gain attention by magnificence of promises, and by eloquence sometimes sublime and sometimes pathetic.
funny hate humor
I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.
beauty silence delicacy
I am very fond of the company of ladies. I like their beauty, I like their delicacy, I like their vivacity, and I like their silence.
courage bravery be-brave
Bravery has no place where it can avail nothing.
truth honesty men
A man may be very sincere in good principles, without having good practice.
hypocrisy villain burden
Hypocrisy is the necessary burden of villainy, affectation part of the chosen trappings of folly; the one completes a villain, the other only finishes a fop.
courtesy manners
He was so generally civil, that nobody thanked him for it.
optimism mind anticipation
No mind is much employed upon the present; recollection and anticipation fill up almost all our moments.
