Samuel Richardson
The unhappy never want enemies.
Samuel Richardson
Every scholar, I presume, is not, necessarily, a man of sense.
Samuel Richardson
We can all be good when we have no temptation or provocation to the contrary.
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
The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.
Samuel Richardson
