More quotes by Henry Fielding
Penny saved is a penny got.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.
Henry Fielding
Setting down in writing, is a lasting memory.
Henry Fielding
Wicked companions invite us to hell.
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
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
Henry Fielding
To the composition of novels and romances, nothing is necessary but paper, pens, and ink, with the manual capacity of using them.
Henry Fielding
Most men like in women what is most opposite their own characters.
Henry Fielding
A beau is everything of a woman but the sex, and nothing of a man beside it.
Henry Fielding
