Henry Fielding
Success is a fruit of slow growth.
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
And here, I believe, the wit is generally misunderstood. In reality, it lies in desiring another to kiss your a-- for having just before threatened to kick his for I have observed very accurately, that no one ever desires you to kick that which belongs to himself, nor offers to kiss this part in another.
Henry Fielding
What is commonly called love, namely the desire of satisfying a voracious appetite with a certain quantity of delicate white human flesh.

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
What's vice today may be virtue, tomorrow.
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
Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it, a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not.
Henry Fielding
To the generality of men you cannot give a stronger hint for them to impose upon you than by imposing upon yourself.
Henry Fielding
We must eat to live, and not live to eat.
Henry Fielding
A man may go to heaven with half the pains it cost him to purchase hell.
Henry Fielding
All nature wears one universal grin.
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
It is not from nature, but from education and habits, that our wants are chiefly derived.
Henry Fielding
Heroes, notwithstanding the high ideas which, by the means of flatterers, they may entertain of themselves, or the world may conceive of them, have certainly more of mortal than divine about them.
Henry Fielding
Good-humor will even go so far as often to supply the lack of wit.
Henry Fielding
Riches without charity are nothing worth. They are a blessing only to him who makes them a blessing to others.
Henry Fielding
Tea! The panacea for everything from weariness to a cold to a murder Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.
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
