Samuel Richardson
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.

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
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
A good man will honor him who lives up to his religious profession, whatever it be.
Samuel Richardson
