Samuel Richardson

Samuel Richardson

Samuel Richardson
Good men must be affectionate men.
Samuel Richardson
The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.

Samuel Richardson
Evil courses can yield pleasure no longer than while thought and reflection can be kept off.
Samuel Richardson
Vast is the field of Science... the more a man knows, the more he will find he has to know.
Samuel Richardson
Things we wish to be true are apt to gain too ready credit with us.
Samuel Richardson
Reverence to a woman in courtship is less to be dispensed with, as, generally, there is but little of it shown afterwards.
Samuel Richardson
Marriage is a state that is attended with so much care and trouble, that it is a kind of faulty indulgence and selfishness to livesingle, in order to avoid the difficulties it is attended with.
Samuel Richardson
The laws were not made so much for the direction of good men, as to circumscribe the bad.
Samuel Richardson
Married people should not be quick to hear what is said by either when in ill humor.
Samuel Richardson
