Joseph Addison

English novelist, essayist, educator, politician and founder of Russian journalism.
Content has a kindly influence on the soul of man, in respect of every being to whom he stands related. It extinguishes all murmuring, repining, and ingratitude toward that Being who has allotted us our part to act in the world. It destroys all inordinate ambition; gives sweetness to the conversation, and serenity to all the thoughts; and if it does not bring riches, it does the same thing by banishing the desire of them.More Joseph Addison quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]
