More quotes by Henry Fielding
Good-humor will even go so far as often to supply the lack of wit.
Henry Fielding
His designs were strictly honourable, as the phrase is that is, to rob a lady of her fortune by way of marriage.
Henry Fielding
I am content that is a blessing greater than riches and he to whom that is given need ask no more.
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
It is a trite but true Observation, that Examples work more forcibly on the Mind than Precepts: and if this be just in what is odious and blameable, it is more strongly so in what is amiable and praiseworthy.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding

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
There are those who never reason on what they should do, but what they have done as if Reason had her eyes behind, and could only see backwards.
Henry Fielding
To the generality of men you cannot give a stronger hint for them to impose upon you than by imposing upon yourself.
Henry Fielding
There is no zeal blinder than that which is inspired with a love of justice against offenders.
Henry Fielding
Men who pay for what they eat will insist on gratifying their palates
Henry Fielding
It hath been often said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
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
Every physician almost hath his favourite disease.
Henry Fielding
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
Henry Fielding
A good heart will, at all times, betray the best head in the world.
Henry Fielding
When I mention religion I mean the Christian religion and not only the Christian religion, but the Protestant religion and not only the Protestant religion, but the Church of England.
Henry Fielding
The slander of some people is as great a recommendation as the praise of others.
Henry Fielding
