Additional quotes by Richard Steele

The finest woman in nature should not detain me an hour from you; but you must sometimes suffer the rivalship of the wisest men.

It was very prettily said, that we may learn the little value of fortune by the persons on whom heaven is pleased to bestow it. - Richard Steele
