If women would make themselve...

If women would make themselves appear as elegant to an Husband, as they were desirous to appear to him while a Lover, the Rake, which all women love, would last longer in the Husband than it generally does.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Marriage is a state that is a...

Marriage is a state that is attended with so much care and trouble, that it is a kind of faulty indulgence and selfishness to livesingle, in order to avoid the difficulties it is attended with.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

In all Works of This, and of ...

In all Works of This, and of the Dramatic Kind, STORY, or AMUSEMENT, should be considered as little more than the Vehicle to the more necessary INSTRUCTION.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

All human excellence is but c...

All human excellence is but comparative — there are persons who excel us, as much as we fancy we excel the meanest.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Those who respect age, deserv...

Those who respect age, deserve to live to be old, and to be respected themselves.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

A good man will extend his mu...

A good man will extend his munificence to the industrious poor of all persuasions reduced by age, infirmity, or accident; to thosewho labour under incurable maladies; and to the youth of either sex, who are capable of beginning the world with advantage, but have not the means.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Love is a blazing, crackling,...

Love is a blazing, crackling, green-wood flame, as much smoke as flame; friendship, married friendship particularly, is a steady,intense, comfortable fire. Love, in courtship, is friendship in hope; in matrimony, friendship upon proof.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

A good man will not engage ev...

A good man will not engage even in a national cause, without examining the justice of it.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

What pity that Religion and L...

What pity that Religion and Love, which heighten our relish for the things of both worlds, should ever run the human heart into enthusiasm, superstition, or uncharitableness!

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Honesty is good sense, polite...

Honesty is good sense, politeness, amiableness,--all in one.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

The Nature of Familiar Letter...

The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

When we reflect upon the crue...

When we reflect upon the cruelties daily practised upon such of the animal creation as are given us for food, or which we ensnarefor our diversion, we shall be obliged to own that there is more of the savage in human nature than we are aware of.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

A fop takes great pains to hang out a sign, by his dress, of what he has within.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Too liberal self-accusations ...

Too liberal self-accusations are generally but so many traps for acquittal with applause.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

I am forced, as I have often ...

I am forced, as I have often said, to try to make myself laugh, that I may not cry: for one or other I must do.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

The world, the wise world, th...

The world, the wise world, that never is wrong itself, judges always by events. And if he should use me ill, then I shall be blamed for trusting him: if well, O then I did right, to be sure!--But how would my censurers act in my case, before the event justifies or condemns the action, is the question.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Of what violences, murders, d...

Of what violences, murders, depredations, have not the epic poets, from all antiquity, been the occasion, by propagating false honor, false glory, and false religion?

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

The richest princes and the p...

The richest princes and the poorest beggars are to have one great and just judge at the last day who will not distinguish betweenthem according to their ranks when in life but according to the neglected opportunities afforded to each. How much greater then, as the opportunities were greater, must be the condemnation of the one than of the other?

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

Nothing can be more wounding ...

Nothing can be more wounding to a spirit not ungenerous, than a generous forgiveness.

Samuel Richardson 195 quotes

'Passion' a word which involv...

'Passion' a word which involves so many feelings. I feel it when we touch; I feel it when we kiss; I feel it when I look at you. For you are my passion; my one true love.
