Samuel Johnson Quote

Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult.


Quoted in Anecdotes of Johnson by Hannah More in Johnsonian Miscellanies (1897), vol. II, p. 197, edited by George Birkbeck Hill. More had quoted this remark in a letter to her sister (April 1782)


Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult.

Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult.

Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult.

Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult.
