More quotes by 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
We should not be too hasty in bestowing either our praise or censure on mankind, since we shall often find such a mixture of good and evil in the same character, that it may require a very accurate judgment and a very elaborate inquiry to determine on which side the balance turns.
Henry Fielding
There is no zeal blinder than that which is inspired with a love of justice against offenders.
Henry Fielding
Good-humor will even go so far as often to supply the lack of wit.
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

Henry Fielding

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
We endeavor to conceal our vices under the disguise of the opposite virtues.
Henry Fielding
What's vice today may be virtue, tomorrow.
Henry Fielding
There is nothing so useful to man in general, nor so beneficial to particular societies and individuals, as trade. This is that alma mater, at whose plentiful breast all mankind are nourished.
Henry Fielding
A good face they say, is a letter of recommendation. O Nature, Nature, why art thou so dishonest, as ever to send men with these false recommendations into the World!
Henry Fielding
Success is a fruit of slow growth.
Henry Fielding
Sensuality not only debases both body and mind, but dulls the keen edge of pleasure.
Henry Fielding
To the composition of novels and romances, nothing is necessary but paper, pens, and ink, with the manual capacity of using them.
