Famous quotes containing the words william and/or johnson:

    No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher.
    —Sir William Osler (1849–1919)

    Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
