More quotes by Henry Fielding
When I'm not thanked at all, I'm thanked enough.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
for nothing can be more reasonable, than that slaves and flatterers should exact the same taxes on all below them, which they themselves pay to all above them.
Henry Fielding
It hath been often said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Henry Fielding
the excellence of the mental entertainment consists less in the subject than in the author's skill in well dressing it up.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of.
Henry Fielding
Wicked companions invite us to hell.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
The same animal which hath the honour to have some part of his flesh eaten at the table of a duke, may perhaps be degraded in another part,and some of his limbs gibbeted, as it were, in the vilest stall in town.
Henry Fielding
Wine and youth are fire upon fire.
Henry Fielding
What's vice today may be virtue, tomorrow.
Henry Fielding
A beau is everything of a woman but the sex, and nothing of a man beside it.
Henry Fielding
Thirst teaches all animals to drink, but drunkenness belongs only to man.
Henry Fielding
Enough is equal to a feast.
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
Heroes, notwithstanding the high ideas which, by the means of flatterers, they may entertain of themselves, or the world may conceive of them, have certainly more of mortal than divine about them.
Henry Fielding
A rich man without charity is a rogue and perhaps it would be no difficult matter to prove that he is also a fool.
Henry Fielding
Great vices are the proper objects of our detestation, smaller faults of our pity, but affectation appears to be the only true source of the ridiculous.
Henry Fielding
The woman and the soldier who do not defend the first pass will never defend the last.
Henry Fielding
