More quotes by Henry Fielding

Image
To the composition of novels and romances, nothing is necessary but paper, pens, and ink, with the manual capacity of using them.
Henry Fielding
Image
Nothing can be so quick and sudden as the operations of the mind, especially when hope, or fear, or jealousy, to which the other two are but journeymen, set it to work.
Henry Fielding
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Life may as properly be called an art as any other.
Henry Fielding
Image
When I mention religion I mean the Christian religion and not only the Christian religion, but the Protestant religion and not only the Protestant religion, but the Church of England.
Henry Fielding
Image
Let no man be sorry he has done good, because others have done evil.
Henry Fielding
Image
All nature wears one universal grin.
Henry Fielding
Image
As it often happens that the best men are but little known, and consequently cannot extend the usefulness of their examples a great way, the biographer is of great utility, as, by communicating such valuable patterns to the world, he may perhaps do a more extensive service to mankind than the person whose life originally afforded the pattern.
Henry Fielding
Image
Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.
Henry Fielding
Image
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
Henry Fielding
Image
Gravity is the best cloak for sin in all countries.
Henry Fielding
Image
When I'm not thanked at all, I'm thanked enough.
Henry Fielding
Image
for nothing can be more reasonable, than that slaves and flatterers should exact the same taxes on all below them, which they themselves pay to all above them.
Henry Fielding
Image
It is a trite but true Observation, that Examples work more forcibly on the Mind than Precepts: and if this be just in what is odious and blameable, it is more strongly so in what is amiable and praiseworthy.
Henry Fielding
Image
Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it, a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not.
Henry Fielding
Image
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
Image
Wine and youth are fire upon fire.
Henry Fielding
Image
We must eat to live, and not live to eat.
