It seems to be remarkable that death increases our veneration for the good, and extenuates our hatred for the bad.

Samuel Johnson
Death, Hatred, Increase
Samuel Johnson (1761). “The Rambler: In Four Volumes”, p.4

Advice is offensive, not because it lays us open to unexpected regret, or convicts us of any fault which had escaped our notice, but because it shows us that we are known to others as well as to ourselves; and the officious monitor is persecuted with hatred, not because his accusation is false, but because he assumes that superiority which we are not willing to grant him, and has dared to detect what we desired to conceal.

Samuel Johnson
Regret, Hatred, Advice
Samuel Johnson (1811). “The Works of Samuel Johnson, L. L. D.: In Twelve Volumes”, p.131
