To what a bad choice is many ...

To what a bad choice is many a worthy woman betrayed, by that false and inconsiderate notion, That a reformed rake makes the best husband!

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Nothing in human nature is so...

Nothing in human nature is so God-like as the disposition to do good to our fellow-creatures.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Love gratified is love satisfied, and love satisfied is indifference begun.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Women are always most observe...

A husband's mother and his wife had generally better be visitors than inmates.

The difference in the educati...

The difference in the education of men and women must give the former great advantages over the latter, even where geniuses are equal.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Marriage is the highest state...

Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation.

The companion of an evening, and the companion for life, require very different qualifications.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

All human excellence is but comparative. There may be persons who excel us, as much as we fancy we excel the meanest.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

For the human mind is seldom ...

For the human mind is seldom at stay: If you do not grow better, you will most undoubtedly grow worse.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

The longer a woman remains si...

The longer a woman remains single, the more apprehensive she will be of entering into the state of wedlock. At seventeen or eighteen, a girl will plunge into it, sometimes without either fear or wit; at twenty, she will begin to think; at twenty-four, will weigh and discriminate; at twenty-eight, will be afraid of venturing; at thirty, will turn about, and look down the hill she has ascended, and sometimes rejoice, sometimes repent, that she has gained that summit sola.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Marry first, and love will co...

Marry first, and love will come after is a shocking assertion; since a thousand things may happen to make the state but barely tolerable, when it is entered into with mutual affection.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Every one, more or less, love...

Every one, more or less, loves Power, yet those who most wish for it are seldom the fittest to be trusted with it.
