Changing Our Opinions
“The future and the past have different appearances… the disproportion will always be great between expectation and enjoyment, between new possession and satiety… the truth of many maxims of age gives too little pleasure to be allowed till it is felt… the miseries of life would be increased beyond all human power of endurance, if we were to enter the world with the same opinions as we carry from it.”
–Samuel Johnson (English Biographer and Essayist, 1709-1784)
{The Rambler, Number 196}
“The Works of Samuel Johnson, Volume 03 – The Rambler, Volume II” (Samuel Johnson)
