More quotes by Henry Fielding
An author ought to consider himself, not as a gentleman who gives a private or eleemosynary treat, but rather as one who keeps a public ordinary, at which all persons are welcome for their money.
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
It hath been often said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Henry Fielding
He that dies before sixty, of a cold or consumption, dies, in reality, by a violent death.
Henry Fielding
LOVE: A word properly applied to our delight in particular kinds of food sometimes metaphorically spoken of the favorite objects of all our appetites.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
Make money your god, and it will plague you like the devil.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.
Henry Fielding
As a great part of the uneasiness of matrimony arises from mere trifles,, it would be wise in every young married man to enter into an agreement with his wife, that in all disputes of this kind the party who was most convinced they were right should always surrender the victory. By which means both would be more forward to give up the cause.
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
However exquisitely human nature may have been described by writers, the true practical system can be learned only in the world.
Henry Fielding
Guilt has very quick ears to an accusation.
Henry Fielding
Great joy, especially after a sudden change of circumstances, is apt to be silent, and dwells rather in the heart than on the tongue.
Henry Fielding
There are persons of that general philanthropy and easy tempers, which the world in contempt generally calls good-natured, who seem to be sent into the world with the same design with which men put little fish into a pike pond, in order only to be devoured by that voracious water-hero.
Henry Fielding
He in a few minutes ravished this fair creature, or at least would have ravished her, if she had not, by a timely compliance, prevented him.
Henry Fielding
