Oliver Goldsmith
O Luxury! thou curst by Heaven's decree!
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
O friendship! thou fond soother of the human breast, to thee we fly in every calamity to thee the wretched seek for succor on thee the care-tired son of misery fondly relies from thy kind assistance the unfortunate always hopes relief, and may be sure of--disappointment.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
The watch-dog's voice that bay'd the whispering wind, And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
They please, are pleas'd, they give to get esteem Till, seeming blest, they grow to what they seem.
Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
Our bounty, like a drop of water, disappears, when diffus'd too widely
Oliver Goldsmith
Friendship is made up of esteem and pleasure pity is composed of sorrow and contempt: the mind may for some time fluctuate between them, but it can never entertain both at once.
Oliver Goldsmith
To make a fine gentleman, several trades are required, but chiefly a barber.
Oliver Goldsmith
Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by.
Oliver Goldsmith
There is unspeakable pleasure attending the life of a voluntary student.
Oliver Goldsmith
The greatest object in the universe, says a certain philosopher, is a good man struggling with adversity yet there is still a greater, which is the good man who comes to relieve it.
Oliver Goldsmith
The loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
Oliver Goldsmith
