“Words are but the signs of ideas.” — Samuel Johnson Quote

“Words are but the signs of ideas.”

“He who praises everybody, praises nobody.”

“You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”

“There are many reasons our prayers may lack power. Sometimes they become routine. Our prayers become hollow when we say similar words in similar ways over and over so often that the words become more of a recitation than a communication.”

“Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.”

“There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to.”
