More quotes by Henry Fielding
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Henry Fielding
Riches without charity are nothing worth. They are a blessing only to him who makes them a blessing to others.
Henry Fielding
A lottery is a taxation on all of the fools in creation.
Henry Fielding
Money is the fruit of evil, as often as the root of it.
Henry Fielding
There is no zeal blinder than that which is inspired with a love of justice against offenders.
Henry Fielding
I describe not men, but manners not an individual, but a species.
Henry Fielding
An author ought to consider himself, not as a gentleman who gives a private or eleemosynary treat, but rather as one who keeps a public ordinary, at which all persons are welcome for their money.
Henry Fielding
Guilt, on the contrary, like a base thief, suspects every eye that beholds him to be privy to his transgressions, and every tongue that mentions his name to be proclaiming them.
Henry Fielding
Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of.
Henry Fielding
Domestic happiness is the end of almost all our pursuits, and the common reward of all our pains. When men find themselves forever barred from this delightful fruition, they are lost to all industry, and grow careless of all their worldly affairs. Thus they become bad subjects, bad relations, bad friends, and bad men.
Henry Fielding
Success is a fruit of slow growth.
Henry Fielding
Commend a fool for his wit, or a rogue for his honesty and he will receive you into his favour.
Henry Fielding
Great vices are the proper objects of our detestation, smaller faults of our pity, but affectation appears to be the only true source of the ridiculous.
Henry Fielding
Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it, a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not.
Henry Fielding
We endeavor to conceal our vices under the disguise of the opposite virtues.
Henry Fielding
A beau is everything of a woman but the sex, and nothing of a man beside it.
Henry Fielding
O vanity, how little is thy force acknowledged or thy operations discerned! How wantonly dost thou deceive mankind under different disguises! Sometimes thou dost wear the face of pity sometimes of generosity nay, thou hast the assurance to put on those glorious ornaments which belong only to heroic virtue.
Henry Fielding
Every physician almost hath his favourite disease.
Henry Fielding
A good heart will, at all times, betray the best head in the world.
Henry Fielding
With the latitude of unbounded scurrility, it is easy enough to attain the character of a wit, especially when it is considered how wonderfully pleasant it is to the generality of the public to see the folly of their acquaintance exposed by a third person.
Henry Fielding
