More quotes by Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
The highest friendship must always lead us to the highest pleasure.
Henry Fielding

Let no man be sorry he has done good, because others have done evil.
Henry Fielding
All nature wears one universal grin.
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
Yes, I had two strings to my bow both golden ones, egad! and both cracked.

Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.
Henry Fielding
