Henry Fielding
Ingratitude never so thoroughly pierces the human breast as when it proceeds from those in whose behalf we have been guilty of transgressions.

Henry Fielding
Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.
Henry Fielding
O vanity, how little is thy force acknowledged or thy operations discerned! How wantonly dost thou deceive mankind under different disguises! Sometimes thou dost wear the face of pity sometimes of generosity nay, thou hast the assurance to put on those glorious ornaments which belong only to heroic virtue.
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
We endeavor to conceal our vices under the disguise of the opposite virtues.
Henry Fielding
The life of a coquette is one constant lie and the only rule by which you can form any correct judgment of them is that they are never what they seem.
Henry Fielding
Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of.
Henry Fielding
The dignity of history.
Henry Fielding
