A Quote for Tuesday

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) was a well-known man about town in his day (the town being London); later, he wrote one of the first, if not the first, dictionaries of the English language. Here's something he said that was no doubt recorded by his biographer Thomas Boswell:

"A wise man will make haste to forgive, because
he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer
it to pass away in unnecessary pain."
