Famous quotes containing the words johnson and/or brothers:

    A woman preaching is like a dog’s walking on his hinder legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    They soon became like brothers from community of wrongs;
    They wrote each other little odes and sang each other songs;
    They told each other anecdotes disparaging their wives;
    On several occasions, too, they saved each other’s lives.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
