More quotes by Henry Fielding
The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by tenderness of the best hearts.
Henry Fielding
A beau is everything of a woman but the sex, and nothing of a man beside it.
Henry Fielding
Money is the fruit of evil, as often as the root of it.
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
It is not enough that your designs, nay that your actions, are intrinsically good, you must take care they shall appear so.
Henry Fielding
And here, I believe, the wit is generally misunderstood. In reality, it lies in desiring another to kiss your a-- for having just before threatened to kick his for I have observed very accurately, that no one ever desires you to kick that which belongs to himself, nor offers to kiss this part in another.
Henry Fielding
However exquisitely human nature may have been described by writers, the true practical system can be learned only in the world.
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 two considerations which always imbitter the heart of an avaricious man--the one is a perpetual thirst after more riches, the other the prospect of leaving what he has already acquired.
Henry Fielding
Enough is equal to a feast.
Henry Fielding
The highest friendship must always lead us to the highest pleasure.
Henry Fielding
A good heart will, at all times, betray the best head in the world.
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
A man may go to heaven with half the pains it cost him to purchase hell.
Henry Fielding
For I hope my Friends will pardon me, when I declare, I know none of them without a Fault and I should be sorry if I could imagine, I had any Friend who could not see mine. Forgiveness, of this Kind, we give and demand in Turn.
Henry Fielding
Great vices are the proper objects of our detestation, smaller faults of our pity, but affectation appears to be the only true source of the ridiculous.
Henry Fielding
Distance of Time and Place do really cure what they seem to aggravate and taking Leave of our Friends resembles taking Leave of the World, concerning which it hath been often said, that it is not Death but Dying which is terrible.
Henry Fielding
Guilt, on the contrary, like a base thief, suspects every eye that beholds him to be privy to his transgressions, and every tongue that mentions his name to be proclaiming them.
Henry Fielding
There is no zeal blinder than that which is inspired with a love of justice against offenders.
Henry Fielding
It is not from nature, but from education and habits, that our wants are chiefly derived.
Henry Fielding
