More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
The dog, to gain some private ends, Went mad, and bit the man.
Oliver Goldsmith
Crimes generally punish themselves.
Oliver Goldsmith
All his faults are such that one loves him still the better for them.
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
The ambitious are forever followed by adulation for they receive the most pleasure from flattery.
Oliver Goldsmith
The man recovered of the bite, The dog it was that died.
Oliver Goldsmith
All that philosophy can teach is to be stubborn or sullen under misfortunes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.
Oliver Goldsmith
It has been well observed that few are better qualified to give others advice than those who have taken the least of it themselves.
Oliver Goldsmith
On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting, 'Twas only when he was off, he was acting.
Oliver Goldsmith
And as a bird each fond endearment tries To tempt its new-fledg'd offspring to the skies, He tried each art, reprov'd each dull delay, Allur'd to brighter worlds, and led the way.
Oliver Goldsmith
Eternal blessings crown my earliest friend, And round his dwelling guardian saints attend.
Oliver Goldsmith
Wit generally succeeds more from being happily addressed than from its native poignancy. A jest, calculated to spread at a gaming-table, may be received with, perfect indifference should it happen to drop in a mackerel-boat.
Oliver Goldsmith
That virtue which requires to be ever guarded is scarce worth the sentinel.
Oliver Goldsmith
Books are necessary to correct the vices of the polite but those vices are ever changing, and the antidote should be changed accordingly should still be new.
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 do not love a man who is zealous for nothing.
Oliver Goldsmith
It is not easy to recover an art when once lost.
Oliver Goldsmith
The polite of every country seem to have but one character. A gentleman of Sweden differs but little, except in trifles, from one of any other country. It is among the vulgar we are to find those distinctions which characterize a people.
Oliver Goldsmith
To make a fine gentleman, several trades are required, but chiefly a barber.
