Henry Fielding

Without adversity a person hardly knows whether they are honest or not.

Money is the fruit of evil, as often as the root of it.

The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by the tenderness of the best hearts.

Praise out of season, or tactlessly bestowed, can freeze the heart as much as blame.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?
