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
Good-nature is that benevolent and amiable temper of mind which disposes us to feel the misfortunes and enjoy the happiness of others, and, consequently, pushes us on to promote the latter and prevent the former and that without any abstract contemplation on the beauty of virtue, and without the allurements or terrors of religion.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
A lottery is a taxation on all of the fools in creation.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
I describe not men, but manners not an individual, but a species.
Henry Fielding
It hath been often said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Henry Fielding
There is nothing so useful to man in general, nor so beneficial to particular societies and individuals, as trade. This is that alma mater, at whose plentiful breast all mankind are nourished.
Henry Fielding
As it often happens that the best men are but little known, and consequently cannot extend the usefulness of their examples a great way, the biographer is of great utility, as, by communicating such valuable patterns to the world, he may perhaps do a more extensive service to mankind than the person whose life originally afforded the pattern.
Henry Fielding
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
Henry Fielding
As a great part of the uneasiness of matrimony arises from mere trifles,, it would be wise in every young married man to enter into an agreement with his wife, that in all disputes of this kind the party who was most convinced they were right should always surrender the victory. By which means both would be more forward to give up the cause.
Henry Fielding
He that dies before sixty, of a cold or consumption, dies, in reality, by a violent death.
Henry Fielding
