Henry Fielding
For I hope my Friends will pardon me, when I declare, I know none of them without a Fault and I should be sorry if I could imagine, I had any Friend who could not see mine. Forgiveness, of this Kind, we give and demand in Turn.
Henry Fielding
Good-humor will even go so far as often to supply the lack of wit.
Henry Fielding
The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by tenderness of the best hearts.
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
