Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. perhaps you will say a man is not young; i answer he is rich. he is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich -that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.

More From Henry Fielding

I don't think i'm a witty person. to me, a witty person is a funny person who is also a smart person. my friend david rakoff, who died a few years ago, he was a witty person. fran lebowitz is a witty person. i don't think there are that many witty people around, so you tend to notice them when they do come around. i don't consider myself to be that.

There are no brave men and cowardly men in the world, my son. there are only brave men. to be born, to live, to die—that takes courage enough in itself, and more than enough. we are all brave men and we are all afraid, and what the world calls a brave man, he too is brave and afraid like the all rest of us. only he is brave for five minutes longer.

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
I don't think there's any intrinsic difference between a lover and a husband. ... if i were cynical, i would say that a woman should have both a good husband and a lover. but i'm not cynical so i'll just say that a woman should have a lover who's a good husband and a husband who's a good lover, perhaps both.
