More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
An emperor in his nightcap will not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.
Oliver Goldsmith
It is impossible to combat enthusiasm with reason for though it makes a show of resistance, it soon eludes the pressure, refers you to distinctions not to be understood, and feelings which it cannot explain. A man who would endeavor to fix an enthusiast by argument might as well attempt to spread quicksilver with his finger.
Oliver Goldsmith
Where wealth and freedom reign contentment fails, And honour sinks where commerce long prevails.
Oliver Goldsmith
All that a husband or wife really wants is to be pitied a little, praised a little, and appreciated a little.
Oliver Goldsmith
Take a dollar from a thousand and it will be a thousand no more.
Oliver Goldsmith
Here lies David Garrick, describe me who can, An abridgment of all that was pleasant in man.
Oliver Goldsmith
One writer, for instance, excels at a plan or a title page, another works away at the body of the book, and a third is a dab at an index.
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
Those who think must govern those that toil.
Oliver Goldsmith
As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm,- Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
Oliver Goldsmith
All the sciences are, in some measure, linked with each other, and before the one is ended, the other begins.
Oliver Goldsmith
The loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
And as a bird each fond endearment tries To tempt its new-fledg'd offspring to the skies, He tried each art, reprov'd each dull delay, Allur'd to brighter worlds, and led the way.
Oliver Goldsmith
In my time, the follies of the town crept slowly among us, but now they travel faster than a stagecoach.
Oliver Goldsmith
A flattering painter, who made it his care To draw men as they ought to be, not as they are.
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
Both wit and understanding are trifles without integrity it is that which gives value to every character. The ignorant peasant, without fault, is greater than the philosopher with many for what is genius or courage without a heart?
Oliver Goldsmith
On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting, 'Twas only when he was off, he was acting.
Oliver Goldsmith
True wisdom consists of tracing effects to their causes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Age, that lessens the enjoyment of life, increases our desire of living
