From The Lives of the English Poets, by Samuel JohnsonA LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
"A little knowledge of the world is sufficient to discover that such weakness is very common, and that there are few who do not sometimes in the wantonness of thoughtless mirth, or the heat of transient resentment, speak of their friends and benefactors with levity and contempt, though in their cooler moments, they want neither sense of their kindness, nor reverence for their virtue."
From Life of Savage
