More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
The volumes of antiquity, like medals, may very well serve to amuse the curious, but the works of the moderns, like the current coin of a kingdom, are much better for immediate use.
Oliver Goldsmith
Taste is the power of relishing or rejecting whatever is offered for the entertainment of the imagination.
Oliver Goldsmith
An emperor in his nightcap will not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.
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
Those who think must govern those that toil.
Oliver Goldsmith
It seemed to me pretty plain, that they had more of love than matrimony in them.
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
We seldom speak of the virtue which we have, but much oftener of that which we lack.
Oliver Goldsmith
Want of prudence is too frequently the want of virtue.
Oliver Goldsmith
All the sciences are, in some measure, linked with each other, and before the one is ended, the other begins.
Oliver Goldsmith
The work of eradicating crimes is not by making punishment familiar, but formidable.
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
Girls like to be played with and rumpled a little too sometimes.
Oliver Goldsmith
As in some Irish houses, where things are so-so, One gammon of bacon hangs up for a show But, for eating a rasher of what they take pride in, They'd as soon think of eating the pan it is fried in.
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
And the weak soul, within itself unbless'd, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.
Oliver Goldsmith
A kind and gentle heart he had, To comfort friends and foes The naked every day he clad When he put on his clothes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Of praise a mere glutton, he swallow'd what came, And the puff a dunce, he mistook it for fame Till his relish grown callous, almost to displease, Who pepper'd the highest was surest to please.
Oliver Goldsmith
I do not love a man who is zealous for nothing.
Oliver Goldsmith
Teach erring man to spurn the rage of gain.
Oliver Goldsmith
