Wine and youth are fire upon fire.
Henry Fielding
Perhaps the summary of good-breeding may be reduced to this rule. Behave unto all men as you would they should behave unto you. This will most certainly oblige us to treat all mankind with the utmost civility and respect, there being nothing that we desire more than to be treated so by them.
Henry Fielding
We must eat to live, and not live to eat.
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
The highest friendship must always lead us to the highest pleasure.
Henry Fielding
Success is a fruit of slow growth.

Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
Thirst teaches all animals to drink, but drunkenness belongs only to man.
Henry Fielding
Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.
Henry Fielding
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Henry Fielding
Great joy, especially after a sudden change of circumstances, is apt to be silent, and dwells rather in the heart than on the tongue.
Henry Fielding
To the composition of novels and romances, nothing is necessary but paper, pens, and ink, with the manual capacity of using them.
Henry Fielding
The dignity of history.
Henry Fielding
Life may as properly be called an art as any other.
Henry Fielding
Gravity is the best cloak for sin in all countries.
Henry Fielding
