Henry Fielding
Wicked companions invite us to hell.
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
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
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Henry Fielding
Wine and youth are fire upon fire.
Henry Fielding
Dancing begets warmth, which is the parent of wantonness. It is, Sir, the great grandfather of cuckoldom.
