“If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.”
—Bible: Hebrew Samson, in Judges 14:18.
To the men who had answered his riddle, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness.
“The world, the wise world, that never is wrong itself, judges always by events. And if he should use me ill, then I shall be blamed for trusting him: if well, O then I did right, to be sure!But how would my censurers act in my case, before the event justifies or condemns the action, is the question.”
—Samuel Richardson (16891761)
