23 페이지 - ADAMS. But, Sir, how can you do this in three years ? JOHNSON. Sir, I have no doubt that I can do it in three years. ADAMS. But the French Academy, which consists of forty members, took forty years to compile their Dictionary.
110 페이지 - ... thinking how different a place London is to different people. They, whose narrow minds are contracted to the consideration of some one particular pursuit, view it only through that medium. A politician thinks of it merely as the seat of government in its different departments ; a grazier, as a vast market for cattle ; a mercantile man, as a place where a prodigious deal of business is done upon 'Change ; a...
138 페이지 - He used frequently to observe that men might be very eminent in a profession, without our perceiving any particular power of mind in them in conversation. ' It seems strange,' said he, ' that a man should see so far to the right, who sees so short a way to the left.

Goldsmith's abridgement is better than that of Lucius Florus or Eutropius ; and I will venture to say, that if you compare him with Vertot, in the same places of the Roman History, you will find that he excels Vertot. Sir, he has the art of compiling-, and of saying every thing he has to say in a pleasing manner. He is now writing a Natural History, and will make it as entertaining...
153 페이지 - Yet this man cut his own throat. The true strong and sound mind is the mind that can embrace equally great things and small. Now I am told the King of Prussia will say to a servant, ' Bring me a bottle of such a wine, which came in such a year ; it lies in such a corner* of the cellars.'

60 페이지 - Yes, Sir." BOSWELL. " He has a singular talent of exhibiting character." JOHNSON. " Sir, it is not a talent, it is a vice ; it is what others abstain from.
