Samuel Johnson
884 citations

Idleness is often covered by turbulence and hurry. He that neglects his known duty and real employment naturally endeavours to crowd his mind with something that may bar out the remembrance of his own folly, and does any thing but what he ought to do with eager diligence, that he may keep himself in his own favour. ✨ Samuel Johnson, Elizabeth Carter, Samuel Richardson, Catherine Talbot (1825). The Rambler: A Periodical Paper, Published in 1750, 1751, 1752
