Samuel Johnson Quotes
We Feared Pain Much Earlier Than We Apprehended Guilt, And Were Delighted With The Sensations Of Pleasure, Before We Had Capacities To Be Charmed With The Beauty Of Rectitude. To This Power, Thus Early Established, And Incessantly Increasing, It Must Be Remembered That Almost Every Man Has, In Some Part Of His Life, Added New Strength By A Voluntary Or Negligent Subjection Of Himself; For Who Is There That Has Not Instigated His Appetites By Indulgence, Or Suffered Them, By An Unresisting Neutrality, To Enlarge Their Dominion, And Multiply Their Demands?
