More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Though very poor, may still be very blest.
Oliver Goldsmith
Wisdom makes a slow defense against trouble, though a sure one in the end.
Oliver Goldsmith
Every absurdity has a champion to defend it.
Oliver Goldsmith
They please, are pleas'd, they give to get esteem Till, seeming blest, they grow to what they seem.
Oliver Goldsmith
The way to acquire lasting esteem is not by the fewness of a writer's faults, but the greatness of his beauties, and our noblest works are generally most replete with both.
Oliver Goldsmith
We are all sure of two things, at least we shall suffer and we shall all die.
Oliver Goldsmith
The wisdom of the ignorant somewhat resembles the instinct of animals it is diffused in but a very narrow sphere, but within the circle it acts with vigor, uniformity, and success.
Oliver Goldsmith
Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.
Oliver Goldsmith
Why was this heart of mine formed with so much sensibility! Or why not my fortune adapted to its impulses! Tenderness without a capacity of relieving only makes the man who feels it more wretched than the object which sues for assistance.
Oliver Goldsmith
Here lies David Garrick, describe me who can, An abridgment of all that was pleasant in man.
Oliver Goldsmith
Quality and title have such allurements that hundreds are ready to give up all their own importance, to cringe, to flatter, to look little, and to pall every pleasure in constraint, merely to be among the great, though without the least hopes of improving their understanding or sharing their generosity. They might be happier among their equals.
Oliver Goldsmith
To be poor, and to seem poor, is a certain method never to rise.
Oliver Goldsmith
All the bloomy flush of life is fled.
Oliver Goldsmith
A traveler of taste will notice that the wise are polite all over the world, but the fool only at home.
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
Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.
Oliver Goldsmith
Thus let me hold thee to my heart, And every care resign: And we shall never, never part, My life-my all that's mine!
Oliver Goldsmith
While selfishness joins hands with no one of the virtues, benevolence is allied to them all.
Oliver Goldsmith
The person whose clothes are extremely fine I am too apt to consider as not being possessed of any superiority of fortune, but resembling those Indians who are found to wear all the gold they have in the world in a bob at the nose.
Oliver Goldsmith
Fortune is ever seen accompanying industry.
Oliver Goldsmith
