Samuel Richardson
  • Men will bear many things from a kept mistress, which they would not bear from a wife.

  • Nothing in human nature is so God-like as the disposition to do good to our fellow-creatures.

  • Every one, more or less, loves Power, yet those who most wish for it are seldom the fittest to be trusted with it.

  • O! what a Godlike Power is that of doing Good! I envy the Rich and the Great for nothing else!

  • Vast is the field of Science. The more a man knows, the more he will find he has to know.
