More quotes by Henry Fielding
We endeavor to conceal our vices under the disguise of the opposite virtues.
Henry Fielding
Setting down in writing, is a lasting memory.
Henry Fielding
Guilt has very quick ears to an accusation.
Henry Fielding
Gravity is the best cloak for sin in all countries.
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
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
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
Success is a fruit of slow growth.
Henry Fielding
The slander of some people is as great a recommendation as the praise of others.
Henry Fielding
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
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
He that dies before sixty, of a cold or consumption, dies, in reality, by a violent death.
Henry Fielding
Let no man be sorry he has done good, because others have done evil.
Henry Fielding
Beauty may be the object of liking--great qualities of admiration--good ones of esteem--but love only is the object of love.
Henry Fielding
The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by tenderness of the best hearts.
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
Worth begets in base minds, envy in great souls, emulation.
Henry Fielding
The life of a coquette is one constant lie and the only rule by which you can form any correct judgment of them is that they are never what they seem.
Henry Fielding
What's vice today may be virtue, tomorrow.
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
