More quotes by Henry Fielding
Setting down in writing, is a lasting memory.
Henry Fielding
The woman and the soldier who do not defend the first pass will never defend the last.
Henry Fielding
Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.
Henry Fielding
Yes, I had two strings to my bow both golden ones, egad! and both cracked.
Henry Fielding
Let no man be sorry he has done good, because others have done evil.
Henry Fielding
Wicked companions invite us to hell.
Henry Fielding
Giving comfort under affliction requires that penetration into the human mind, joined to that experience which knows how to soothe, how to reason, and how to ridicule taking the utmost care never to apply those arts improperly.
Henry Fielding
It is not enough that your designs, nay that your actions, are intrinsically good, you must take care they shall appear so.
Henry Fielding
Domestic happiness is the end of almost all our pursuits, and the common reward of all our pains. When men find themselves forever barred from this delightful fruition, they are lost to all industry, and grow careless of all their worldly affairs. Thus they become bad subjects, bad relations, bad friends, and bad men.
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
Thirst teaches all animals to drink, but drunkenness belongs only to man.
Henry Fielding
Commend a fool for his wit, or a rogue for his honesty and he will receive you into his favour.
Henry Fielding
Dancing begets warmth, which is the parent of wantonness. It is, Sir, the great grandfather of cuckoldom.
Henry Fielding
We should not be too hasty in bestowing either our praise or censure on mankind, since we shall often find such a mixture of good and evil in the same character, that it may require a very accurate judgment and a very elaborate inquiry to determine on which side the balance turns.
Henry Fielding
Conscience is a judge in every man's breast, which none can cheat or corrupt, and perhaps the only incorrupt thing about him yet, inflexible and honest as this judge is (however polluted the bench on which he sits), no man can, in my opinion, enjoy any applause which is not there adjudged to be his due.
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
As a great part of the uneasiness of matrimony arises from mere trifles,, it would be wise in every young married man to enter into an agreement with his wife, that in all disputes of this kind the party who was most convinced they were right should always surrender the victory. By which means both would be more forward to give up the cause.
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
Heroes, notwithstanding the high ideas which, by the means of flatterers, they may entertain of themselves, or the world may conceive of them, have certainly more of mortal than divine about them.
Henry Fielding
