Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
His designs were strictly honourable, as the phrase is that is, to rob a lady of her fortune by way of marriage.
Henry Fielding
Some general officers should pay a stricter regard to truth than to call the depopulating other countries the service of their own.
Henry Fielding
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Henry Fielding
