Oliver Goldsmith
One man is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and the other with a wooden ladle.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
The life of a scholar seldom abounds with adventure.
Oliver Goldsmith
Taste is the power of relishing or rejecting whatever is offered for the entertainment of the imagination.
