Famous quotes with Dr. johnson

• I'm an advocate of the great Dr. Johnson, the English man of letters who said that patriotism was the last refuge of the scoundrel.

  George Galloway
• Dr. Johnson was a lazy learned man who liked to think and talk better than to read or write; who, however, wrote much and well, but too often by rote.

  William Hazlitt

  Logan Pearsall Smith
