More quotes by Henry Fielding
We must eat to live, and not live to eat.
Henry Fielding

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
When I'm not thanked at all, I'm thanked enough.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
He that dies before sixty, of a cold or consumption, dies, in reality, by a violent death.
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
Some general officers should pay a stricter regard to truth than to call the depopulating other countries the service of their own.
Henry Fielding
There is no zeal blinder than that which is inspired with a love of justice against offenders.
Henry Fielding
Penny saved is a penny got.
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
A wonder lasts but nine days, and then the puppy's eyes are open.
Henry Fielding
The dignity of history.
Henry Fielding
Men who pay for what they eat will insist on gratifying their palates
