More quotes by Samuel Richardson
Married people should not be quick to hear what is said by either when in ill humor.
Samuel Richardson
All human excellence is but comparative — there are persons who excel us, as much as we fancy we excel the meanest.
Samuel Richardson
Over-niceness may be under-niceness.
Samuel Richardson
For the human mind is seldom at stay: If you do not grow better, you will most undoubtedly grow worse.
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
Spiritual pride is the most dangerous and the most arrogant of all sorts of pride.
Samuel Richardson
Friendly satire may be compared to a fine lancet, which gently breathes a vein for health's sake.
Samuel Richardson
Hope is the cordial that keeps life from stagnating.
Samuel Richardson
The little words in the Republic of Letters, like the little folks in a nation, are the most useful and significant.
Samuel Richardson
The grace that makes every grace amiable is humility.
Samuel Richardson
Men will bear many things from a kept mistress, which they would not bear from a wife.
Samuel Richardson
Love gratified is love satisfied, and love satisfied is indifference begun.
Samuel Richardson
Virtue only is the true beauty.
Samuel Richardson
Women are so much in love with compliments that rather than want them, they will compliment one another, yet mean no more by it than the men do.
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
The coyest maids make the fondest wives.
Samuel Richardson
To be a clergyman, and all that is compassionate and virtuous, ought to be the same thing.
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 woman who thinks meanly of herself is any man's purchase.
Samuel Richardson
Youth is rather to be pitied than envied by people in years since it is doomed to toil through the rugged road of life which the others have passed through, in search of happiness that is not to be met with in it and that, at the highest, can be compounded for only by the blessing of a contented mind.
Samuel Richardson
