Tea! The panacea for everything from weariness to a cold to a murder Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.
Henry Fielding
When widows exclaim loudly against second marriages, I would always lay a wager than the man, If not the wedding day, is absolutely fixed on.
Henry Fielding
It hath been often said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Henry Fielding
I describe not men, but manners not an individual, but a species.
Henry Fielding
Domestic happiness is the end of almost all our pursuits, and the common reward of all our pains. When men find themselves forever barred from this delightful fruition, they are lost to all industry, and grow careless of all their worldly affairs. Thus they become bad subjects, bad relations, bad friends, and bad men.
Henry Fielding

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 is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
It is an error common to many to take the character of mankind from the worst and basest amongst them whereas, as an excellent writer has observed, nothing should be esteemed as characteristical, of a species but what is to be found amongst the best and the most perfect individuals of that species.
Henry Fielding
Penny saved is a penny got.
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
Success is a fruit of slow growth.
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
The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by tenderness of the best hearts.
Henry Fielding
Commend a fool for his wit, or a rogue for his honesty and he will receive you into his favour.
Henry Fielding
What is commonly called love, namely the desire of satisfying a voracious appetite with a certain quantity of delicate white human flesh.
Henry Fielding
When I'm not thanked at all, I'm thanked enough.
