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
We must eat to live, and not live to eat.
Henry Fielding
The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by tenderness of the best hearts.
Henry Fielding
Distance of Time and Place do really cure what they seem to aggravate and taking Leave of our Friends resembles taking Leave of the World, concerning which it hath been often said, that it is not Death but Dying which is terrible.
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
Riches without charity are nothing worth. They are a blessing only to him who makes them a blessing to others.
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
When I'm not thanked at all, I'm thanked enough.
Henry Fielding
It is a trite but true Observation, that Examples work more forcibly on the Mind than Precepts: and if this be just in what is odious and blameable, it is more strongly so in what is amiable and praiseworthy.
Henry Fielding
Good writers will, indeed, do well to imitate the ingenious traveller. . .who always proportions his stay in any place.
Henry Fielding
Success is a fruit of slow growth.
Henry Fielding
Giving comfort under affliction requires that penetration into the human mind, joined to that experience which knows how to soothe, how to reason, and how to ridicule taking the utmost care never to apply those arts improperly.
Henry Fielding
Ingratitude never so thoroughly pierces the human breast as when it proceeds from those in whose behalf we have been guilty of transgressions.
Henry Fielding
When I mention religion I mean the Christian religion and not only the Christian religion, but the Protestant religion and not only the Protestant religion, but the Church of England.
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
It is not enough that your designs, nay that your actions, are intrinsically good, you must take care they shall appear so.
Henry Fielding
A good heart will, at all times, betray the best head in the world.
Henry Fielding
Dancing begets warmth, which is the parent of wantonness. It is, Sir, the great grandfather of cuckoldom.
Henry Fielding
Enough is equal to a feast.
Henry Fielding
A wonder lasts but nine days, and then the puppy's eyes are open.
Henry Fielding
