"Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language." "He that reads books of science, though without any fixed idea of improvement, will grow more knowing; he that entertains himself with moral or religious treatises, will imperceptibly advance in goodness." "Some read that they may embellish their conversation, or shine in dispute; but the most prevalent reason of study is the impossibility of finding another amusement equally cheap or constant." Dr. Samuel Johnson (creator of the English Dictionary)
