Samuel Richardson
  • Where words are restrained, the eyes often talk a great deal.

  • 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.

  • Hope is the cordial that keeps life from stagnating.

  • A widow's refusal of a lover is seldom so explicit as to exclude hope.

  • Married people should not be quick to hear what is said by either when in ill humor.
