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
Most men like in women what is most opposite their own characters.
Henry Fielding
He grew weary of this condescension, and began to treat the opinions of his wife with that haughtiuess and insolence, which none but those who deserve some contempt themselves can bestow, and those only who deserve no contempt can bear.
Henry Fielding
Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.
Henry Fielding
