More quotes by Samuel Richardson
People of little understanding are most apt to be angry when their sense is called into question.
Samuel Richardson
Youth is rather to be pitied than envied by people in years since it is doomed to toil through the rugged road of life which the others have passed through, in search of happiness that is not to be met with in it and that, at the highest, can be compounded for only by the blessing of a contented mind.
Samuel Richardson
Men are less forgiving than women.
Samuel Richardson
Friendship is the perfection of love, and superior to love it is love purified, exalted, proved by experience and a consent of minds. Love, Madam, may, and love does, often stop short of friendship.
Samuel Richardson
All human excellence is but comparative — there are persons who excel us, as much as we fancy we excel the meanest.
Samuel Richardson
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
Spiritual pride is the most dangerous and the most arrogant of all sorts of pride.
Samuel Richardson
The World is not enough used to this way of writing, to the moment. It knows not that in the minutiae lie often the unfoldings ofthe Story, as well as of the heart and judges of an action undecided, as if it were absolutely decided.
Samuel Richardson
A feeling heart is a blessing that no one, who has it, would be without and it is a moral security of innocence since the heart that is able to partake of the distress of another, cannot wilfully give it.
Samuel Richardson
There are men who think themselves too wise to be religious.
Samuel Richardson
Evil courses can yield pleasure no longer than while thought and reflection can be kept off.
Samuel Richardson
We are all very ready to believe what we like.
Samuel Richardson
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
The seeds of Death are sown in us when we begin to live, and grow up till, like rampant weeds, they choak the tender flower of life.
Samuel Richardson
Who would not rather be the sufferer than the defrauder?
Samuel Richardson
Women's eyes are wanderers, and too often bring home guests that are very troublesome to them, and whom, once introduced, they cannot get out of the house.
Samuel Richardson
From sixteen to twenty, all women, kept in humor by their hopes and by their attractions, appear to be good-natured.
Samuel Richardson
Tis certain that Morality is an indispensable Requisite of true Religion, and there can be none without it. But it would become the Pride and Ignorance of Pagans only, to magnify it, as the Whole of what is necessary.
Samuel Richardson
Platonic love is platonic nonsense.
Samuel Richardson
Superstitious notions propagated in infancy are hardly ever totally eradicate, not even in minds grown strong enough to despise the like credulous folly in others.
Samuel Richardson
