Oliver Goldsmith
All the sciences are, in some measure, linked with each other, and before the one is ended, the other begins.
Oliver Goldsmith
I have found by experience that they who have spent all their lives in cities contract not only an effeminacy of habit, but of thinking.
Oliver Goldsmith
Who pepper'd the highest was surest to please.
Oliver Goldsmith
Of all kinds of ambition, that which pursues poetical fame is the wildest
Oliver Goldsmith
There is unspeakable pleasure attending the life of a voluntary student.
