  1. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    Pleasure is very seldom found where it is sought. Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks. The flowers which scatter their odours from time to time in the paths of life, grow up without culture from seeds scattered by chance.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1759-05-26), The Idler, No. 58
