More quotes by Samuel Richardson
Air and manners are more expressive than words.
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
There is a good and a bad light in which every thing that befalls us may be taken. If the human mind will busy itself to make theworst of every disagreeable occurrence, it will never want woe.
Samuel Richardson
Would Alexander, madman as he was, have been so much a madman, had it not been for Homer?
Samuel Richardson
We can all be good when we have no temptation or provocation to the contrary.
Samuel Richardson
All our pursuits, from childhood to manhood, are only trifles of different sorts and sizes, proportioned to our years and views.
Samuel Richardson
The eye is the casement at which the heart generally looks out. Many a woman who will not show herself at the door, has tipt the sly, the intelligible wink from the window.
Samuel Richardson

Samuel Richardson
What pleasure can those over-happy persons know, who, from their affluence and luxury, always eat before they are hungry and drink before they are thirsty?
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
'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.
Samuel Richardson
The grace that makes every grace amiable is humility.
Samuel Richardson
Over-niceness may be under-niceness.
Samuel Richardson
Platonic love is platonic nonsense.
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
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
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
The uselessness and expensiveness of modern women multiply bachelors.
Samuel Richardson
