More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Oliver Goldsmith
For the first time, the best may err, art may persuade, and novelty spread out its charms. The first fault is the child of simplicity but every other the offspring of guilt.
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
Age, that lessens the enjoyment of life, increases our desire of living
Oliver Goldsmith
The youth who follows his appetites too soon seizes the cup, before it has received its best ingredients, and by anticipating his pleasures, robs the remaining parts of life of their share, so that his eagerness only produces manhood of imbecility and an age of pain.
Oliver Goldsmith
Teach erring man to spurn the rage of gain.
Oliver Goldsmith
One man is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and the other with a wooden ladle.
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
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
Our bounty, like a drop of water, disappears, when diffus'd too widely
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
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
The first blow is half the battle.
Oliver Goldsmith
The watch-dog's voice that bay'd the whispering wind, And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
If you don't ask me questions, I can't give you an untrue answer.
Oliver Goldsmith
Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see, My heart untravelled, fondly turns to thee Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain, And drags at each remove a lengthening chain.
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
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
A modest woman, dressed out in all her finery, is the most tremendous object of the whole creation.
Oliver Goldsmith
