More quotes by Henry Fielding
There is no zeal blinder than that which is inspired with a love of justice against offenders.
Henry Fielding
Good-nature is that benevolent and amiable temper of mind which disposes us to feel the misfortunes and enjoy the happiness of others, and, consequently, pushes us on to promote the latter and prevent the former and that without any abstract contemplation on the beauty of virtue, and without the allurements or terrors of religion.
Henry Fielding
Life may as properly be called an art as any other.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
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
He that dies before sixty, of a cold or consumption, dies, in reality, by a violent death.
Henry Fielding
Yes, I had two strings to my bow both golden ones, egad! and both cracked.
Henry Fielding
The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by tenderness of the best hearts.
Henry Fielding
The life of a coquette is one constant lie and the only rule by which you can form any correct judgment of them is that they are never what they seem.
Henry Fielding
Money is the fruit of evil, as often as the root of it.
Henry Fielding
Men who pay for what they eat will insist on gratifying their palates
Henry Fielding
the excellence of the mental entertainment consists less in the subject than in the author's skill in well dressing it up.
Henry Fielding
It is not from nature, but from education and habits, that our wants are chiefly derived.
Henry Fielding
It hath been often said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Henry Fielding
Most men like in women what is most opposite their own characters.
Henry Fielding
Gravity is the best cloak for sin in all countries.
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
