Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
He grew weary of this condescension, and began to treat the opinions of his wife with that haughtiuess and insolence, which none but those who deserve some contempt themselves can bestow, and those only who deserve no contempt can bear.
Henry Fielding
There are persons of that general philanthropy and easy tempers, which the world in contempt generally calls good-natured, who seem to be sent into the world with the same design with which men put little fish into a pike pond, in order only to be devoured by that voracious water-hero.
Henry Fielding
It is not from nature, but from education and habits, that our wants are chiefly derived.

Good-humor will even go so far as often to supply the lack of wit.
Henry Fielding
We should not be too hasty in bestowing either our praise or censure on mankind, since we shall often find such a mixture of good and evil in the same character, that it may require a very accurate judgment and a very elaborate inquiry to determine on which side the balance turns.
Henry Fielding
The woman and the soldier who do not defend the first pass will never defend the last.
Henry Fielding
I describe not men, but manners not an individual, but a species.
Henry Fielding

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
For I hope my Friends will pardon me, when I declare, I know none of them without a Fault and I should be sorry if I could imagine, I had any Friend who could not see mine. Forgiveness, of this Kind, we give and demand in Turn.
Henry Fielding
Enough is equal to a feast.
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
However exquisitely human nature may have been described by writers, the true practical system can be learned only in the world.
Henry Fielding
