There are innumerable questions to which the inquisitive mind can in this state receive no answer: Why do you and I exist? Why was this world created? Since it was to be created, why was it not created sooner? – Samuel Johnson
The world is seldom what it seems to man, who dimly sees, realities appear as dreams, and dreams realities. – Samuel Johnson
I would not give half a guinea to live under one form of government other than another. It is of no moment to the happiness of an individual. – Samuel Johnson
Thou didst create the night, but I made the lamp. Thou didst create clay, but I made the cup. Thou didst create the deserts, mountains and forests, I produced the orchards, gardens and groves. It is I who made the glass out of stone, and it is I who turn a poison into an antidote. – Sir Muhammad Iqbal
