More quotes by Samuel Richardson
The unhappy never want enemies.
Samuel Richardson
Parents cannot expect advice to have the same force upon their children as experience has upon themselves.
Samuel Richardson
Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation.
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
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 women, from the countess to the cook-maid, are put into high good humor with themselves when a man is taken with them at firstsight. And be they ever so plain, they will find twenty good reasons to defend the judgment of such a man.
Samuel Richardson
Distresses, however heavy at the time, appear light, and even joyous, to the reflecting mind, when worthily overcome.
Samuel Richardson
We are all very ready to believe what we like.
Samuel Richardson
Honesty is good sense, politeness, amiableness,--all in one.
Samuel Richardson
A good man will not engage even in a national cause, without examining the justice of it.
Samuel Richardson
All that hoops are good for is to clean dirty shoes and keep fellows at a distance.
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
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
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
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
There cannot be any great happiness in the married life except each in turn give up his or her own humors and lesser inclinations.
Samuel Richardson
The person who will bear much shall have much to bear, all the world through.
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
'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
Tired of myself longing for what I have not
Samuel Richardson
