Samuel Johnson

Lexicographer, Essayist, Critic

“If we consider the manner in which those who assume the office of directing the conduct of others execute their undertaking, it will not be very wonderful that their labours, however zealous or affectionate, are frequently useless.

Scott Eastwood

Actor
