More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
True wisdom consists of tracing effects to their causes.
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
If the soul be happily disposed, every thing becomes capable of affording entertainment, and distress will almost want a name.
Oliver Goldsmith
Turn, gentle Hermit of the Dale, And guide my lonely way To where yon taper cheers the vale With hospitable ray.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is unspeakable pleasure attending the life of a voluntary student.
Oliver Goldsmith
No vernal blooms their torpid rocks array, But winter lingering chills the lap of May No zephyr fondly sues the mountain's breast, But meteors glare, and stormy glooms invest.
Oliver Goldsmith
The loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
A flattering painter, who made it his care To draw men as they ought to be, not as they are.
Oliver Goldsmith
The watch-dog's voice that bay'd the whispering wind, And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
In all the silent manliness of grief.
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
Unequal combinations are always disadvantageous to the weaker side.
Oliver Goldsmith
Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, Shoulder'd his crutch, and shew'd how fields were won.
Oliver Goldsmith
The company of fools may first make us smile, but in the end we always feel melancholy.
Oliver Goldsmith
How blest is he who crowns in shades like these A youth of labour with an age of ease!
Oliver Goldsmith
Life has been compared to a race, but the allusion improves by observing, that the most swift are usually the least manageable and the most likely to stray from the course. Great abilities have always been less serviceable to the possessors than moderate ones.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is nothing so absurd or ridiculous that has not at some time been said by some philosopher. Fontenelle says he would undertake to persuade the whole public of readers to believe that the sun was neither the cause of light or heat, if he could only get six philosophers on his side.
Oliver Goldsmith
Our bounty, like a drop of water, disappears, when diffus'd too widely
Oliver Goldsmith
Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie.
Oliver Goldsmith
