More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Though very poor, may still be very blest.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ridicule has always been the enemy of enthusiasm, and the only worthy opponent to ridicule is success.
Oliver Goldsmith
While Resignation gently slopes away, And all his prospects brightening to the last, His heaven commences ere the world be past.
Oliver Goldsmith
The premises being thus settled, I proceed to observe that the concatenation of self-existence, proceeding in a reciprocal duplicate ratio, naturally produces a problematical dialogism, which in some measure proves that the essence of spirituality may be referred to the second predicable.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is a greatness in being generous, and there is only simple justice in satisfying creditors. Generosity is the part of the soul raised above the vulgar.
Oliver Goldsmith
As in some Irish houses, where things are so-so, One gammon of bacon hangs up for a show But, for eating a rasher of what they take pride in, They'd as soon think of eating the pan it is fried in.
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
Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law.
Oliver Goldsmith
Politics resemble religion attempting to divest either of ceremony is the most certain mode of bringing either into contempt.
Oliver Goldsmith
On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting, 'Twas only when he was off, he was acting.
Oliver Goldsmith
We are all sure of two things, at least we shall suffer and we shall all die.
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
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
Romance and novel paint beauty in colors more charming than nature, and describe a happiness that humans never taste. How deceptive and destructive are those pictures of consummate bliss!
Oliver Goldsmith
The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies.
Oliver Goldsmith
Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway, and fools, who came to scoff, remained to pray.
Oliver Goldsmith
Who pepper'd the highest was surest to please.
Oliver Goldsmith
The man recovered of the bite, The dog it was that died.
Oliver Goldsmith
Such dainties to them, their health it might hurt It 's like sending them ruffles when wanting a shirt.
Oliver Goldsmith
