Henry Fielding
A grave aspect to a grave character is of much more consequence than the world is generally aware of a barber may make you laugh, but a surgeon ought rather to make you cry.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding

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
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
Dancing begets warmth, which is the parent of wantonness. It is, Sir, the great grandfather of cuckoldom.
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 is no zeal blinder than that which is inspired with a love of justice against offenders.
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
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
