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
Wicked companions invite us to hell.
Henry Fielding
Every physician almost hath his favourite disease.
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
To the composition of novels and romances, nothing is necessary but paper, pens, and ink, with the manual capacity of using them.
Henry Fielding
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
