Henry Fielding
 English dramatist & novelist

| “ | A newspaper consists of just the same number of words, whether there be any news in it or not.
| ” |
| “ | A truly elegant taste is generally accompanied with excellency of heart. | ” |
| “ | Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not. | ” |
| “ | He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatness of the soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported without the latter. | ” |
| “ | Make money your god and it will plague you like the devil.
| ” |
| “ | Now, in reality, the world have paid too great a compliment to critics, and have imagined them to be men of much greater profundity than they really are.
| ” |
