Henry Fielding
The woman and the soldier who do not defend the first pass will never defend the last.
Henry Fielding
Never trust the man who has reason to suspect that you know he hath injured you.
Henry Fielding
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
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
for nothing can be more reasonable, than that slaves and flatterers should exact the same taxes on all below them, which they themselves pay to all above them.
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
It hath been often said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Henry Fielding
