Famous quotes containing the word fielding:

“One fool at least in every married couple.”
—Henry Fielding (1707–1754)

“A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs. In short, he should be the shadow of her mind. A lady, in the presence of her lover, should never want a looking-glass; as a beau, in the presence of his looking-glass, never wants a mistress.”
—Henry Fielding (1707–1754)

“Thwackum was for doing justice, and leaving mercy to Heaven.”
—Henry Fielding (1707–1754)
