More quotes by Henry Fielding
We endeavor to conceal our vices under the disguise of the opposite virtues.
Henry Fielding
I am content that is a blessing greater than riches and he to whom that is given need ask no more.
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
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
Henry Fielding
It is well known to all great men, that by conferring an obligation they do not always procure a friend, but are certain of creating many enemies.
Henry Fielding
Considering the unforeseen events of this world, we should be taught that no human condition should inspire men with absolute despair.
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
Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.
Henry Fielding
No acquisitions of guilt can compensate the loss of that solid inward comfort of mind, which is the sure companion of innocence and virtue nor can in the least balance the evil of that horror and anxiety which, in their room, guilt introduces into our bosoms.
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
Beauty may be the object of liking--great qualities of admiration--good ones of esteem--but love only is the object of love.
Henry Fielding
Money is the fruit of evil, as often as the root of it.
Henry Fielding
the excellence of the mental entertainment consists less in the subject than in the author's skill in well dressing it up.
Henry Fielding
The highest friendship must always lead us to the highest pleasure.
Henry Fielding
All nature wears one universal grin.
Henry Fielding
Some general officers should pay a stricter regard to truth than to call the depopulating other countries the service of their own.
Henry Fielding
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Henry Fielding
Yes, I had two strings to my bow both golden ones, egad! and both cracked.
Henry Fielding
The slander of some people is as great a recommendation as the praise of others.
Henry Fielding
Perhaps the summary of good-breeding may be reduced to this rule. Behave unto all men as you would they should behave unto you. This will most certainly oblige us to treat all mankind with the utmost civility and respect, there being nothing that we desire more than to be treated so by them.
Henry Fielding
