More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
Thou source of all my bliss and all my woe, That found'st me poor at first, and keep'st me so.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
By sports like these are all their cares beguil'd The sports of children satisfy the child.
Oliver Goldsmith
The man recovered of the bite, The dog it was that died.
Oliver Goldsmith
Where wealth accumulates, men decay.
