Henry Fielding
Men who pay for what they eat will insist on gratifying their palates
Henry Fielding
The woman and the soldier who do not defend the first pass will never defend the last.
Henry Fielding
As it often happens that the best men are but little known, and consequently cannot extend the usefulness of their examples a great way, the biographer is of great utility, as, by communicating such valuable patterns to the world, he may perhaps do a more extensive service to mankind than the person whose life originally afforded the pattern.
Henry Fielding
Penny saved is a penny got.
Henry Fielding
Beauty may be the object of liking--great qualities of admiration--good ones of esteem--but love only is the object of love.
Henry Fielding
