Summary

This quote, attributed to noted writer Samuel Johnson, suggests that individuals who choose to go to bed early, before midnight, are somehow morally reprehensible or dishonest. It portrays the act of retiring to bed before twelve o'clock as a sign of laziness, lack of ambition, or a disregard for enjoying life to the fullest. Johnson appears to have advocated for a more indulgent approach to life, emphasizing the importance of staying up late and fully embracing the pleasures and opportunities that the night has to offer.
