More quotes by 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
Absence, like death, sets a seal on the image of those we love: we cannot realize the intervening changes which time may have effected.
Oliver Goldsmith
To a philosopher no circumstance, however trifling, is too minute.
Oliver Goldsmith
Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain, With grammar, and nonsense, and learning, Good liquor, I stoutly maintain, Gives genius a better discerning.
Oliver Goldsmith
And e'en while fashion's brightest arts decoy, The heart distrusting asks if this be joy.
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
We are all sure of two things, at least we shall suffer and we shall all die.
Oliver Goldsmith
In arguing too, the parson own'd his skill, For e'en though vanquish'd he could argue still While words of learned length and thundering sound Amaz'd the gazing rustics rang'd around And still they gaz'd, and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all he knew.
Oliver Goldsmith
Wisdom makes a slow defense against trouble, though a sure one in the end.
Oliver Goldsmith
A silent address is the genuine eloquence of sincerity.
Oliver Goldsmith
Good people all, with one accord, Lament for Madam Blaize, Who never wanted a good word From those who spoke her praise.
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
Persecution is a tribute the great must always pay for preeminence.
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
Though very poor, may still be very blest.
Oliver Goldsmith
A volcano may be considered as a cannon of immense size.
Oliver Goldsmith
Error is always talkative.
Oliver Goldsmith
I have visited many countries, and have been in cities without number, yet never did I enter a town which could not produce ten or twelve little great men all fancying themselves known to the rest of the world, and complimenting each other upon their extensive reputation.
Oliver Goldsmith
Religion does what philosophy could never do it shows the equal dealings of Heaven to the happy and the unhappy, and levels all human enjoyments to nearly the same standard. It gives to both rich and poor the same happiness hereafter, and equal hopes to aspire after it.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies.
Oliver Goldsmith
