More quotes by 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
Gravity is the best cloak for sin in all countries.
Henry Fielding

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
There are those who never reason on what they should do, but what they have done as if Reason had her eyes behind, and could only see backwards.
Henry Fielding
There is nothing so useful to man in general, nor so beneficial to particular societies and individuals, as trade. This is that alma mater, at whose plentiful breast all mankind are nourished.
Henry Fielding
Life may as properly be called an art as any other.
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
Enough is equal to a feast.
Henry Fielding
