At the time the book was published, the author of the quote was unknown, but in 1947, The New York Times identified the author as Henry Stanley Haskins, a Wall Street trader with a checkered background.]

Here, the quote was not attributed to anyone. In 1845, the quote was printed in The Mother's Assistant and Young Lady's Friend, published by William C. Brown, who attributed the quote to an author named Dr. Johnson, whose first name was never disclosed.]
