More From Henry Fielding

A Rich Man Without Charity Is A Rogue; And Perhaps It Would Be No Difficult Matter To Prove That He Is Also A Fool.

In A Debate, Rather Pull To Pieces The Argument Of Thy Antagonists Than Offer Him Any Of Thy Own; For Thus Thou Wilt Fight Him In His Own Country.

The Constant Desire Of Pleasing Which Is The Peculiar Quality Of Some, May Be Called The Happiest Of All Desires In This That It Rarely Fails Of Attaining Its End When Not Disgraced By Affectation.

It Is A Trite But True Observation, That Examples Work More Forcibly On The Mind Than Precepts: And If This Be Just In What Is Odious And Blameable, It Is More Strongly So In What Is Amiable And Praiseworthy.

A Comic Writer Should Of All Others Be The Least Excused For Deviating From Nature, Since It May Not Be Always So Easy For A Serious Poet To Meet With The Great And The Admirable; But Life Every Where Furnishes An Accurate Observer With The Ridiculous.
