More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Romance and novel paint beauty in colors more charming than nature, and describe a happiness that humans never taste. How deceptive and destructive are those pictures of consummate bliss!
Oliver Goldsmith
So the loud torrent, and the whirlwind's roar, But bind him to his native mountains more.
Oliver Goldsmith
Thus love is the most easy and agreeable, and gratitude the most humiliating, affection of the mind. We never reflect on the man we love without exulting in our choice, while he who has bound us to him by benefits alone rises to our ideas as a person to whom we have in some measure forfeited our freedom.
Oliver Goldsmith
Philosophy ... should not pretend to increase our present stock, but make us economists of what we are possessed of.
Oliver Goldsmith
The pictures placed for ornament and use, The twelve good rules, the royal game of goose.
Oliver Goldsmith
Error is always talkative.
Oliver Goldsmith
In arguing one should meet serious pleading with humor, and humor with serious pleading.
Oliver Goldsmith
A book may be very amusing with numerous errors, or it may be very dull without a single absurdity.
Oliver Goldsmith
The heart of every man lies open to the shafts of correction if the archer can take proper aim.
Oliver Goldsmith
Girls like to be played with and rumpled a little too sometimes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Good counsel rejected returns to enrich the givers bosom.
Oliver Goldsmith
Both wit and understanding are trifles without integrity it is that which gives value to every character. The ignorant peasant, without fault, is greater than the philosopher with many for what is genius or courage without a heart?
Oliver Goldsmith
They please, are pleas'd, they give to get esteem Till, seeming blest, they grow to what they seem.
Oliver Goldsmith
The fortunate circumstances of our lives are generally found, at last, to be of our own producing.
Oliver Goldsmith
Processions, cavalcades, and all that fund of gay frippery, furnished out by tailors, barbers, and tire-women, mechanically influence the mind into veneration an emperor in his nightcap would not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.
Oliver Goldsmith
All that philosophy can teach is to be stubborn or sullen under misfortunes.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is a greatness in being generous, and there is only simple justice in satisfying creditors. Generosity is the part of the soul raised above the vulgar.
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
If the soul be happily disposed, every thing becomes capable of affording entertainment, and distress will almost want a name.
Oliver Goldsmith
Thus 'tis with all their chief and constant care Is to seem everything but what they are.
Oliver Goldsmith
