More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Where wealth accumulates, men decay.
Oliver Goldsmith
O Luxury! thou curst by Heaven's decree!
Oliver Goldsmith
In arguing too, the parson own'd his skill, For e'en though vanquish'd he could argue still While words of learned length and thundering sound Amaz'd the gazing rustics rang'd around And still they gaz'd, and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all he knew.
Oliver Goldsmith
Popular glory is a perfect coquette her lovers must toil, feel every inquietude, indulge every caprice, and perhaps at last be jilted into the bargain. True glory, on the other hand, resembles a woman of sense her admirers must play no tricks. They feel no great anxiety, for they are sure in the end of being rewarded in proportion to their merit.
Oliver Goldsmith
If the soul be happily disposed, every thing becomes capable of affording entertainment, and distress will almost want a name.
Oliver Goldsmith
Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog And in that town a dog was found, As many dogs there be, Both mongrel, puppy, whelp, and hound, And curs of low degree.
Oliver Goldsmith
I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown, for qualities that would wear well.
Oliver Goldsmith
Whatever the skill of any country may be in the sciences, it is from its excellence in polite learning alone that it must expect a character from posterity.
Oliver Goldsmith
A silent address is the genuine eloquence of sincerity.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
Alas! the joys that fortune brings Are trifling, and decay, And those who prize the trifling things, More trifling still than they.
Oliver Goldsmith
I do not love a man who is zealous for nothing.
Oliver Goldsmith
Could a man live by it, it were not unpleasant employment to be a poet.
Oliver Goldsmith
Taste is the power of relishing or rejecting whatever is offered for the entertainment of the imagination.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies.
Oliver Goldsmith
Error is ever talkative.
Oliver Goldsmith
Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.
Oliver Goldsmith
I have visited many countries, and have been in cities without number, yet never did I enter a town which could not produce ten or twelve little great men all fancying themselves known to the rest of the world, and complimenting each other upon their extensive reputation.
Oliver Goldsmith
Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see, My heart untravelled, fondly turns to thee Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain, And drags at each remove a lengthening chain.
Oliver Goldsmith
