More quotes by Samuel Richardson

Samuel Richardson

Samuel Richardson

Samuel Richardson

Samuel Richardson
All that hoops are good for is to clean dirty shoes and keep fellows at a distance.
Samuel Richardson
The laws were not made so much for the direction of good men, as to circumscribe the bad.
Samuel Richardson

Samuel Richardson
Air and manners are more expressive than words.
Samuel Richardson
The person who will bear much shall have much to bear, all the world through.
