More quotes by Samuel Richardson
Tho' Beauty is generally the creature of fancy, yet are there some who will be Beauties in every eye.
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
Love will draw an elephant through a key-hole.
Samuel Richardson
Over-niceness may be under-niceness.
Samuel Richardson
Virtue only is the true beauty.
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
What the unpenetrating world call Humanity, is often no more than a weak mind pitying itself.
Samuel Richardson
The World is not enough used to this way of writing, to the moment. It knows not that in the minutiae lie often the unfoldings ofthe Story, as well as of the heart and judges of an action undecided, as if it were absolutely decided.
Samuel Richardson
Beauty is an accidental and transient good.
Samuel Richardson
There is a good and a bad light in which every thing that befalls us may be taken. If the human mind will busy itself to make theworst of every disagreeable occurrence, it will never want woe.
Samuel Richardson
The woman who thinks meanly of herself is any man's purchase.
Samuel Richardson
A good man will honor him who lives up to his religious profession, whatever it be.
Samuel Richardson
Be sure don't let people's telling you, you are pretty, puff you up for you did not make yourself, and so can have no praise due to you for it. It is virtue and goodness only, that make the true beauty.
Samuel Richardson
Married people should not be quick to hear what is said by either when in ill humor.
Samuel Richardson
Where words are restrained, the eyes often talk a great deal.
Samuel Richardson
What a world is this! What is there in it desirable? The good we hope for so strangely mixed, that one knows not what to wish for!And one half of mankind tormenting the other, and being tormented themselves in tormenting!
Samuel Richardson
The mind can be but full. It will be as much filled with a small disagreeable occurrence, having no other, as with a large one.
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
Love is a blazing, crackling, green-wood flame, as much smoke as flame friendship, married friendship particularly, is a steady,intense, comfortable fire. Love, in courtship, is friendship in hope in matrimony, friendship upon proof.
Samuel Richardson
As a child is indulged or checked in its early follies, a ground is generally laid for the happiness or misery of the future man.
Samuel Richardson
