Thus they become bad subjects, bad relations, bad friends, and bad men.
Henry Fielding
What is commonly called love, namely the desire of satisfying a voracious appetite with a certain quantity of delicate white human flesh.
Henry Fielding
Men who pay for what they eat will insist on gratifying their palates
Henry Fielding
Money is the fruit of evil, as often as the root of it.
