More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
A mind too vigorous and active, serves only to consume the body to which it is joined.
Oliver Goldsmith
Thus love is the most easy and agreeable, and gratitude the most humiliating, affection of the mind. We never reflect on the man we love without exulting in our choice, while he who has bound us to him by benefits alone rises to our ideas as a person to whom we have in some measure forfeited our freedom.
Oliver Goldsmith
Vain, very vain, my weary search to find That bliss which only centers in the mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
How blest is he who crowns in shades like these A youth of labour with an age of ease!
Oliver Goldsmith
A traveler of taste will notice that the wise are polite all over the world, but the fool only at home.
Oliver Goldsmith
Books are necessary to correct the vices of the polite but those vices are ever changing, and the antidote should be changed accordingly should still be new.
Oliver Goldsmith
The work of eradicating crimes is not by making punishment familiar, but formidable.
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
This is that eloquence the ancients represented as lightning, bearing down every opposer this the power which has turned whole assemblies into astonishment, admiration and awe- - that is described by the torrent, the flame, and every other instance of irresistible impetuosity.
Oliver Goldsmith
The watch-dog's voice that bay'd the whispering wind, And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
It world be well had we more misers than we have among us.
Oliver Goldsmith
The first blow is half the battle.
Oliver Goldsmith
The youth who follows his appetites too soon seizes the cup, before it has received its best ingredients, and by anticipating his pleasures, robs the remaining parts of life of their share, so that his eagerness only produces manhood of imbecility and an age of pain.
Oliver Goldsmith
Could a man live by it, it were not unpleasant employment to be a poet.
Oliver Goldsmith
Such dainties to them, their health it might hurt It 's like sending them ruffles when wanting a shirt.
Oliver Goldsmith
Error is always talkative.
Oliver Goldsmith
I always get the better when I argue alone.
Oliver Goldsmith
One man is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and the other with a wooden ladle.
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
The life of a scholar seldom abounds with adventure.
Oliver Goldsmith
