More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Unequal combinations are always disadvantageous to the weaker side.
Oliver Goldsmith
O friendship! thou fond soother of the human breast, to thee we fly in every calamity to thee the wretched seek for succor on thee the care-tired son of misery fondly relies from thy kind assistance the unfortunate always hopes relief, and may be sure of--disappointment.
Oliver Goldsmith
The mind is ever ingenious in making its own distress.
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
Every want that stimulates the breast becomes a source of pleasure when redressed.
Oliver Goldsmith
In my time, the follies of the town crept slowly among us, but now they travel faster than a stagecoach.
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
Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog And in that town a dog was found, As many dogs there be, Both mongrel, puppy, whelp, and hound, And curs of low degree.
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
Friendship is made up of esteem and pleasure pity is composed of sorrow and contempt: the mind may for some time fluctuate between them, but it can never entertain both at once.
Oliver Goldsmith
Error is always talkative.
Oliver Goldsmith
Silence gives consent.
Oliver Goldsmith
While selfishness joins hands with no one of the virtues, benevolence is allied to them all.
Oliver Goldsmith
A man's own heart must ever be given to gain that of another.
Oliver Goldsmith
Vain, very vain, my weary search to find That bliss which only centers in the mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love.
Oliver Goldsmith
The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door The chest, contriv'd a double debt to pay,- A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.
Oliver Goldsmith
Eternal blessings crown my earliest friend, And round his dwelling guardian saints attend.
Oliver Goldsmith
Paltry affectation, strained allusions, and disgusting finery are easily attained by those who choose to wear them they are but too frequently the badges of ignorance or of stupidity, whenever it would endeavor to please.
Oliver Goldsmith
Age, that lessens the enjoyment of life, increases our desire of living
