Famous quotes containing the words william and/or johnson:
“An illiterate king is a crowned ass.”
—Medieval English proverb.
Said by the chronicler William of Malmesbury to have been much used by King Henry I of England (1068-1135)
“Patriotism having become one of our topicks, Johnson suddenly uttered, in a strong determined tone, an apophthegm, at which many will start: “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” But let it be considered that he did not mean a real and generous love of our country, but that pretended patriotism which so many, in all ages and countries, have made a cloak of self-interest.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
