He sounds like the kind of guy that if there was a statue of him somewhere we should probably take it down...

Interesting tidbit - He started his collection of "words and definitions" because he wanted a quick reference to help him solve words puzzles.

So, one way to look at it is that he was the first English cheater.

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

My Dad would tell this story:
"As Samuel Johnson paused to rest on a London park bench one hot summer's day, his profusely sweating bulk caused a young woman sitting next to him to accuse him of smelling. “No, Madam,” he replied. “You smell, I stink.”
