The English, the plain English, of the politest address of a gentleman to a lady is, I am now, dear Madam, your humble servant: Pray be so good as to let me be your Lord and Master.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Would Alexander, madman as he...

Would Alexander, madman as he was, have been so much a madman, had it not been for Homer?

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Those who have least to do are generally the most busy people in the world.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

If the education and studies ...

If the education and studies of children were suited to their inclinations and capacities, many would be made useful members of society that otherwise would make no figure in it.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

There hardly can be a greater...

There hardly can be a greater difference between any two men, than there too often is, between the same man, a lover and a husband.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Prejudices in disfavor of a p...

Prejudices in disfavor of a person fix deeper, and are much more difficult to be removed, than prejudices in favor.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

There is a pride, a self-love...

There is a pride, a self-love, in human minds that will seldom be kept so low as to make men and women humbler than they ought to be.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Women who have had no lovers,...

Women who have had no lovers, or having had one, two or three, have not found a husband, have perhaps rather had a miss than a loss, as men go.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

All our pursuits, from childhood to manhood, are only trifles of different sorts and sizes, proportioned to our years and views.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

It is much easier to find fault with others, than to be faultless ourselves.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

The Cause of Women is generally the Cause of Virtue.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Quantity in diet is more to b...

Quantity in diet is more to be regarded than quality. A full meal is a great enemy both to study and industry.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Women are so much in love wit...

Women are so much in love with compliments that rather than want them, they will compliment one another, yet mean no more by it than the men do.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

The readiness with which wome...

The readiness with which women are apt to forgive the men who have deceived other women; and that inconsiderate notion of too many of them that a reformed rake makes the best husband, are great encouragements to vile men to continue their profligacy.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

I have my choice: who can wis...

I have my choice: who can wish for more? Free will enables us to do everything well while imposition makes a light burden heavy.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

A man who insults the modesty...

A man who insults the modesty of a woman, as good as tells her that he has seen something in her conduct that warranted his presumption.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

The eye is the casement at wh...

The eye is the casement at which the heart generally looks out. Many a woman who will not show herself at the door, has tipt the sly, the intelligible wink from the window.

Those commands of superiors which are contrary to our first duties are not to be obeyed.
