More quotes by Henry Fielding
LOVE: A word properly applied to our delight in particular kinds of food sometimes metaphorically spoken of the favorite objects of all our appetites.
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
Every physician almost hath his favourite disease.
Henry Fielding
Setting down in writing, is a lasting memory.
Henry Fielding
Wicked companions invite us to hell.
Henry Fielding
A good face they say, is a letter of recommendation. O Nature, Nature, why art thou so dishonest, as ever to send men with these false recommendations into the World!
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
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Henry Fielding
It is an error common to many to take the character of mankind from the worst and basest amongst them whereas, as an excellent writer has observed, nothing should be esteemed as characteristical, of a species but what is to be found amongst the best and the most perfect individuals of that species.
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
It is not from nature, but from education and habits, that our wants are chiefly derived.
Henry Fielding
The same animal which hath the honour to have some part of his flesh eaten at the table of a duke, may perhaps be degraded in another part,and some of his limbs gibbeted, as it were, in the vilest stall in town.
Henry Fielding
Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it, a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not.
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
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
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Henry Fielding
A comic writer should of all others be the least excused for deviating from nature, since it may not be always so easy for a serious poet to meet with the great and the admirable but life every where furnishes an accurate observer with the ridiculous.
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
the excellence of the mental entertainment consists less in the subject than in the author's skill in well dressing it up.
Henry Fielding
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
Henry Fielding
