Oliver Goldsmith
All that philosophy can teach is to be stubborn or sullen under misfortunes.
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
As for disappointing them I should not so much mind but I can't abide to disappoint myself.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is yet a silent agony in which the mind appears to disdain all external help, and broods over its distresses with gloomy reserve. This is the most dangerous state of mind accidents or friendships may lessen the louder kinds of grief, but all remedies for this must be had from within, and there despair too often finds the most deadly enemy.
Oliver Goldsmith
Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.
Oliver Goldsmith
When lovely woman stoops to folly, and finds too late that men betray, what charm can soothe her melancholy, what art can wash her guilt away?
Oliver Goldsmith
Careless their merits or their faults to scan, His pity gave ere charity began. Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride, And even his failings lean'd to Virtue's side.
Oliver Goldsmith
The pictures placed for ornament and use, The twelve good rules, the royal game of goose.
Oliver Goldsmith
The wretch condemn'd with life to part, Still, still on hope relies And every pang that rends the heart Bids expectation rise.
Oliver Goldsmith
Teach erring man to spurn the rage of gain.
Oliver Goldsmith
A boy will learn more true wisdom in a public school in a year than by a private education in five. It is not from masters, but from their equals, that youth learn a knowledge of the world.
Oliver Goldsmith
As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm,- Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
Oliver Goldsmith
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Oliver Goldsmith
Fortune is ever seen accompanying industry.
Oliver Goldsmith
