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

Henry Fielding
Thirst teaches all animals to drink, but drunkenness belongs only to man.
Henry Fielding
It hath been often said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
