More quotes by Henry Fielding
There are two considerations which always imbitter the heart of an avaricious man--the one is a perpetual thirst after more riches, the other the prospect of leaving what he has already acquired.
Henry Fielding

By which means both would be more forward to give up the cause.
Henry Fielding
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
Setting down in writing, is a lasting memory.
Henry Fielding
No acquisitions of guilt can compensate the loss of that solid inward comfort of mind, which is the sure companion of innocence and virtue nor can in the least balance the evil of that horror and anxiety which, in their room, guilt introduces into our bosoms.
Henry Fielding
I am content that is a blessing greater than riches and he to whom that is given need ask no more.
Henry Fielding
A comic writer should of all others be the least excused for deviating from nature, since it may not be always so easy for a serious poet to meet with the great and the admirable but life every where furnishes an accurate observer with the ridiculous.
Henry Fielding
