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