    • English Week Competition:
      • Read the text and write its summary:
          298 years ago today, Samuel Johnson was born. The literary lion and titan of lexicography left a legacy of wisdom in words; today we look at his words on wisdom and on cunning.
        • "Every man wishes to be wise," observed that 18th century great; "and they who cannot be wise are almost always cunning." What's the difference? Quite a bit, according to Doctor Johnson. "Cunning," he wrote, "differs from wisdom as twilight from open day. He that walks in the sunshine goes boldly forward by the nearest way . . . but the traveler in the dusk fears more as he sees less . . . he knows there may be danger, and therefore suspects he may never be safe."
        • What more can we add to Johnson's metaphoric distinction? Just this. Someone considered wise is notable for his or her great understanding of people and of situations and for unusual discernment and judgment in meeting with them. The adjective cunning suggests the inventive use of a sometimes limited intelligence in overreaching or circumventing.
        • Then there are the nouns wisdom and cunning. Wisdom, of course, names a wise attitude or course of action and implies sense or judgment far above average. We've mentioned before that cunning has an ancestor in the Old English word for know; a person who possesses cunning knows how to incorporate ingenuity and subtlety in devising, inventing, or executing.
