“Every man who attacks my belief, diminishes in some degree my confidence in it, and therefore makes me uneasy; and I am angry with him who makes me uneasy.”

English lexicographer and literary figure of the 18th century, Samuel Johnson is best known for compiling the first authoritative English dictionary, *A Dictionary of the English Language*, published in 1755. His sharp wit, profound observations on human nature, and extensive writings—including *Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia* and *The Idler* essays—established him as a defining voice of the Age of Enlightenment.
