More quotes by Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
Gravity is the best cloak for sin in all countries.
Henry Fielding
Domestic happiness is the end of almost all our pursuits, and the common reward of all our pains.

Thus they become bad subjects, bad relations, bad friends, and bad men.
Henry Fielding
All nature wears one universal grin.
Henry Fielding

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
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
To speak a bold truth, I am, after much mature deliberation, inclined to suspect that the public voice hath, in all ages, done much injustice to Fortune, and hath convicted her of many facts in which she had not the least concern.
Henry Fielding
A man may go to heaven with half the pains it cost him to purchase hell.
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
Commend a fool for his wit, or a rogue for his honesty and he will receive you into his favour.
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
