More quotes by Henry Fielding
There is no zeal blinder than that which is inspired with a love of justice against offenders.
Henry Fielding
Commend a fool for his wit, or a rogue for his honesty and he will receive you into his favour.
Henry Fielding
The slander of some people is as great a recommendation as the praise of others.
Henry Fielding
He in a few minutes ravished this fair creature, or at least would have ravished her, if she had not, by a timely compliance, prevented him.
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
When I'm not thanked at all, I'm thanked enough.
Henry Fielding
Giving comfort under affliction requires that penetration into the human mind, joined to that experience which knows how to soothe, how to reason, and how to ridicule taking the utmost care never to apply those arts improperly.
Henry Fielding
Setting down in writing, is a lasting memory.
Henry Fielding
There are two considerations which always imbitter the heart of an avaricious man--the one is a perpetual thirst after more riches, the other the prospect of leaving what he has already acquired.
Henry Fielding
Men who pay for what they eat will insist on gratifying their palates
Henry Fielding
It is an error common to many to take the character of mankind from the worst and basest amongst them whereas, as an excellent writer has observed, nothing should be esteemed as characteristical, of a species but what is to be found amongst the best and the most perfect individuals of that species.
Henry Fielding
Worth begets in base minds, envy in great souls, emulation.
Henry Fielding
Life may as properly be called an art as any other.
Henry Fielding
An author ought to consider himself, not as a gentleman who gives a private or eleemosynary treat, but rather as one who keeps a public ordinary, at which all persons are welcome for their money.
Henry Fielding
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
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
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 not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Henry Fielding
Money is the fruit of evil, as often as the root of it.
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
