Life of Johnson
TTE SAID of one of our friends, “ He is ruining himself without pleasure. A man who loses at play, or who runs out his fortune at court, makes his estate less, in hopes of making it bigger: (I am sure of this word, which was often used by him:) but it is a sad thing to pass through the quagmire or parsimony, to the gulph of ruin. To pass over the flowery path of extravagance is very well.”
