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
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
Gravity is the best cloak for sin in all countries.
Henry Fielding
Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.
Henry Fielding
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
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
