More quotes by Henry Fielding
When I mention religion I mean the Christian religion and not only the Christian religion, but the Protestant religion and not only the Protestant religion, but the Church of England.
Henry Fielding
The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by tenderness of the best hearts.
Henry Fielding
When widows exclaim loudly against second marriages, I would always lay a wager than the man, If not the wedding day, is absolutely fixed on.

The dignity of history.
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
Let no man be sorry he has done good, because others have done evil.
Henry Fielding
Make money your god, and it will plague you like the devil.
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
