| | Word Spy - Samuel Johnson |
 | | Among the calamities of war may be jointly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates and credulity encourages. | | | There may be other reasons for a man's not speaking in publick than want of resolution: he may have nothing to say. | | | Those who have much leisure to think, will always be enlarging the stock of ideas, and every increase of knowledge, whether real or fancied, will produce new words, or combinations of words. |

| | LEXICOGRAPHER |
| | For your lexicographer, having written his dictionary, comes to be considered "as one having authority," whereas his function is only to make a record, not to give a law. | | | The natural servility of the human understanding having invested him with judicial power, surrenders its right of reason and submits itself to a chronicle as if it were a statue. | | | Now, from her leafy covert when she cries: "Give me my clothes and I'll return," they rise And scan the list, and say without compassion: "Excuse us -- they are mostly out of fashion." Sigismund Smith |

| | Flawn Ray only includes as a northernism in the second edition of his Collection of English Words in 1691, although it is deemed ‘old’ by some lexicographers, and current by others, from 1671 to 1696. | | | One might argue that Miège, with English as his second language, would be less familiar with non-standard varieties. | | | Perhaps this non-proscriptive attitude to the presence of localized speech and lexis leads him to cite among his ‘Monosyllables’ two words of possible dialectal nature, dern and flawn. |

| | William Chester Minor, insane murderer and amateur lexicographer |
| | Simon Winchester’s “Tale of Murder, Madness and the Love of Words” is as much about the creation of the greatest of dictionaries as of Minor’s part in creating it. | | | Nevertheless, it goes without saying that the affectionate attention paid by Winchester to Minor’s work for the OED is what has captured my own appreciation. | | | The medicines would have dulled his madness but could well have dulled his genius also, and deprived the world of his wonderful contribution to the Oxford English Dictionary. |

| | James Murray, lexicographer |
| | This abridged dictionary was actually a cut-down version of a massive work (The New English Dictionary) envisaged by three influential members of the Philological Society, Richard Trench, Herbert Coleridge and Frederick Furnivall, who as early as 1857 had begun collecting words for it. | | | All lexicographic principles for the Macmillan-Harper New English Dictionary were the Society’s (mainly Trench’s), and in time, greatly improved by James Murray, they would lay the foundation for the great Oxford undertaking. | | | One of these ideals looked back beyond Webster – whose work (1828-64) was currently the dictionary held in highest regard internationally – to Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary a century earlier. |
