Henry Fielding
When I'm not thanked at all, I'm thanked enough.
Henry Fielding
Gravity is the best cloak for sin in all countries.
Henry Fielding
Some general officers should pay a stricter regard to truth than to call the depopulating other countries the service of their own.
Henry Fielding
When I mention religion I mean the Christian religion and not only the Christian religion, but the Protestant religion and not only the Protestant religion, but the Church of England.
Henry Fielding
Make money your god, and it will plague you like the devil.
Henry Fielding
A wonder lasts but nine days, and then the puppy's eyes are open.
Henry Fielding
Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.
