More quotes by 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
In all the silent manliness of grief.
Oliver Goldsmith
Measures, not men, have always been my mark.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies.
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
Life at the greatest and best is but a froward child, that must be humored and coaxed a little till it falls asleep, and then all the care is over.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
The dog, to gain some private ends, Went mad, and bit the man.
Oliver Goldsmith
A mind too vigorous and active, serves only to consume the body to which it is joined.
Oliver Goldsmith
I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown, for qualities that would wear well.
Oliver Goldsmith
As for murmurs, mother, we grumble a little now and then, to be sure but there's no love lost between us.
Oliver Goldsmith
Good counsel rejected returns to enrich the givers bosom.
Oliver Goldsmith
Our chief comforts often produce our greatest anxieties, and the increase in our possessions is but an inlet to new disquietudes.
Oliver Goldsmith
If one wishes to become rich they must appear rich.
Oliver Goldsmith
The greatest object in the universe, says a certain philosopher, is a good man struggling with adversity yet there is still a greater, which is the good man who comes to relieve it.
Oliver Goldsmith
The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend. When I read a book over I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one.
Oliver Goldsmith
The English laws punish vice the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.
Oliver Goldsmith
To make a fine gentleman, several trades are required, but chiefly a barber.
Oliver Goldsmith
The company of fools may first make us smile, but in the end we always feel melancholy.
Oliver Goldsmith
