More quotes by Henry Fielding
I am content that is a blessing greater than riches and he to whom that is given need ask no more.
Henry Fielding
Riches without charity are nothing worth. They are a blessing only to him who makes them a blessing to others.
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
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
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
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
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
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
However exquisitely human nature may have been described by writers, the true practical system can be learned only in the world.
Henry Fielding
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
Every physician almost hath his favourite disease.
Henry Fielding
The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by tenderness of the best hearts.
Henry Fielding
Good writers will, indeed, do well to imitate the ingenious traveller. . .who always proportions his stay in any place.
Henry Fielding
What's vice today may be virtue, tomorrow.
Henry Fielding
All nature wears one universal grin.
Henry Fielding
A tender-hearted and compassionate disposition, which inclines men to pity and feel the misfortunes of others, and which is, even for its own sake, incapable of involving any man in ruin and misery, is of all tempers of mind the most amiable and though it seldom receives much honor, is worthy of the highest.
Henry Fielding
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Henry Fielding
A wonder lasts but nine days, and then the puppy's eyes are open.
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
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
Henry Fielding
