More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Religion does what philosophy could never do it shows the equal dealings of Heaven to the happy and the unhappy, and levels all human enjoyments to nearly the same standard. It gives to both rich and poor the same happiness hereafter, and equal hopes to aspire after it.
Oliver Goldsmith
I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown, for qualities that would wear well.
Oliver Goldsmith
No vernal blooms their torpid rocks array, But winter lingering chills the lap of May No zephyr fondly sues the mountain's breast, But meteors glare, and stormy glooms invest.
Oliver Goldsmith
The more various our artificial necessities, the wider is our circle of pleasure for all pleasure consists in obviating necessities as they rise luxury, therefore, as it increases our wants, increases our capacity for happiness
Oliver Goldsmith
At night returning, every labour sped, He sits him down, the monarch of a shed Smiles by his cheerful fire, and round surveys His children's looks, that brighten at the blaze While his lov'd partner, boastful of her hoard, Displays her cleanly platter on the board.
Oliver Goldsmith
Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by.
Oliver Goldsmith
Though very poor, may still be very blest.
Oliver Goldsmith
Amid thy desert-walks the lapwing flies, And tires their echoes with unvaried cries.
Oliver Goldsmith
Take a dollar from a thousand and it will be a thousand no more.
Oliver Goldsmith
What real good does an addition to a fortune already sufficient procure? Not any. Could the great man, by having his fortune increased, increase also his appetites, then precedence might be attended with real amusement.
Oliver Goldsmith
If one wishes to become rich they must appear rich.
Oliver Goldsmith
So the loud torrent, and the whirlwind's roar, But bind him to his native mountains more.
Oliver Goldsmith
If the soul be happily disposed, every thing becomes capable of affording entertainment, and distress will almost want a name.
Oliver Goldsmith
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Oliver Goldsmith
Unequal combinations are always disadvantageous to the weaker side.
Oliver Goldsmith
You, that are going to be married, think things can never be done too fast: but we that are old, and know what we are about, must elope methodically, madam.
Oliver Goldsmith
Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, Shoulder'd his crutch, and shew'd how fields were won.
Oliver Goldsmith
Good people all, with one accord, Lament for Madam Blaize, Who never wanted a good word From those who spoke her praise.
Oliver Goldsmith
Wealth accumulates, and men decay.
Oliver Goldsmith
It is impossible to combat enthusiasm with reason for though it makes a show of resistance, it soon eludes the pressure, refers you to distinctions not to be understood, and feelings which it cannot explain. A man who would endeavor to fix an enthusiast by argument might as well attempt to spread quicksilver with his finger.
Oliver Goldsmith
