Famous quotes by Samuel Johnson:

"Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful."

"Actions are visible, though motives are secret"

"If one party resolves to demand what the other resolves to refuse, the dispute can be determined only by arbitration; and between powers who have no common superior, there is no other arbitrator than the sword"

"My dear friend, clear your mind of can't."

"Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous mind."

"What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence."

"By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show"

"Of all noises, I think music is the least disagreeable."

"Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be."

"Nature has given women so much power that the law has very wisely given them little."

"If pleasure was not followed by pain, who would forbear it?"

"Life is not long, and too much of it must not pass in idle deliberation how it shall be spent."

"You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more good to them by spending it in luxury, than by giving it; for by spending it in luxury, you make them exert industry, whereas by giving it, you keep them idle."

"Where grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates."

"I have found men to be more kind than I expected, and less just."

"Your manuscript is both good and original; but the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good."

"Between falsehood and useless truth there is little difference. As gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich, so knowledge which cannot apply will make no man wise."

"Praise, like gold and diamonds, owes its value only to its scarcity."

"Getting money is not all a man's business: to cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life."

"Depend upon it that if a man talks of his misfortunes there is something in them that is not disagreeable to him; for where there is nothing but pure misery there never is any recourse to the mention of it."

Love your sister | Samuel Johnson | TEDxQUT

Duration: 19:06
Updated: 08 Sep 2014

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. What do you want your legacy to be? Samuel Johnsons world record marathon unicycle ride around Australia began with this question to his sister who had been diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. In this beautiful talk Sam shares, not only what he learned while raising over 1 million dollars for cancer research, but also life lessons we can all take to heart. Samuel Johnson has established himself as one of Australia’s busiest actors and voice over artisits. He has been working in television, film, theatre and radio for over 20 years, in shows such as the Secret Life of Us, Rush, Underbelly and Wilfred. In addition to acting, in 2003 Samuel rode his unicycle 1003.4 kilometres between Sydney and Melbourne to raise $500,000 for CanTeen and has initiated a film making program for 'at risk' teens through Open Family, as featured in ABC's 'Australian Story'. This year, Sam is riding his unicycle again, this time around Australia, with the goal being to keep his promise to his sister Connie that he would complete this ride, raise $1 million, set a new Guinness World Record for the most distance travelled on a unicycle AND spread Connie’s message of breast cancer awareness. Through the Love Your Sister organisation, Sam has now completed his marathon and in doing so raised over $1.5 million dollars. Samuel consulted all the experts, took none of their advice and set off on the challenge of a lifetime. He made a promise and through determination he kept it! He will be with us at TEDxQUT to share his experiences. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Racial profiling? Samuel Johnson stopped by Springfield Police Department

Updated: 06 Aug 2014

Samuel Johnson of Springfield is stopped and arrested by Springfield Police. He was stopped for failing to signal his lane change for 100 feet, and the police officer claims Johnson's record shows five arrests for dangerous drugs. Johnson disputes that, saying he was only arrested once for drugs in 2001, but the charges were dropped. The charges against Johnson in this case were also dropped because state law requires signaling for 100 feet before a turn, but not for a lane change. Video is public record recorded by Springfield Police Department dash cam and obtained through the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. More info at www.illinoistimes.com.
