Samuel Johnson has remarked wisely on almost every topic pertinent to the noble cause of human living. This treasure trove of wisdom and inspiration from Johnson's writings--on everything from Asceticism to Ambition, Failure to Forgiveness, Hypocrisy to Holiness, Vanity to Virtue--offers a vision of suffering overcome and a life lived manfully, thankfully, and generously. Foreword by Joseph Sobran.
