Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark.

-- Samuel Johnson, (Sep 18 1709-1784), English lexicographer, critic; He was remembered for writing the first critique of Shakespeare, 1765 and Dictionary of the English Language, 1755.
