another quote

[David A. Daniel]

"Nature has given women so much power that the law has wisely given them
little"
Can the quote sleuths tell me if this is actually a Samuel Johnson quote?
I'm about to post it for my wife's benefit and I certainly don't want to be
in trouble for misattributing anything (aside from the other stuff I'm about
to get in trouble for).
