More quotes by Henry Fielding
Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it, a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not.
Henry Fielding
He in a few minutes ravished this fair creature, or at least would have ravished her, if she had not, by a timely compliance, prevented him.
Henry Fielding
What's vice today may be virtue, tomorrow.
Henry Fielding
Guilt has very quick ears to an accusation.
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
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
A good heart will, at all times, betray the best head in the world.
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
A man may go to heaven with half the pains it cost him to purchase hell.
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
In the forming of female friendships beauty seldom recommends one woman to another.
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
Good writers will, indeed, do well to imitate the ingenious traveller. . .who always proportions his stay in any place.
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
It hath been often said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Henry Fielding
There is no zeal blinder than that which is inspired with a love of justice against offenders.
Henry Fielding
The woman and the soldier who do not defend the first pass will never defend the last.
Henry Fielding
It is not from nature, but from education and habits, that our wants are chiefly derived.
Henry Fielding
Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.
Henry Fielding
When widows exclaim loudly against second marriages, I would always lay a wager than the man, If not the wedding day, is absolutely fixed on.
Henry Fielding
