"If, sir, men were all virtuous, I should……" — Samuel Johnson

"If, sir, men were all virtuous, I should with great alacrity teach them all to fly. But what would be the security of the good if the bad could at pleasure invade them from the sky? Against an army sailing through the clouds neither wall, nor mountains, nor seas could afford any security."

Samuel Johnson
