More quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
Let observation with observant view, Observe mankind from China to Peru.
Oliver Goldsmith
Girls like to be played with and rumpled a little too sometimes.
Oliver Goldsmith
Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall.
Oliver Goldsmith
Fortune is ever seen accompanying industry.
Oliver Goldsmith
The wretch condemn'd with life to part, Still, still on hope relies And every pang that rends the heart Bids expectation rise.
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
To the last moment of his breath, On hope the wretch relies And even the pang preceding death Bids expectation rise.
Oliver Goldsmith
Thus let me hold thee to my heart, And every care resign: And we shall never, never part, My life-my all that's mine!
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
The pictures placed for ornament and use, The twelve good rules, the royal game of goose.
Oliver Goldsmith
And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all he knew.
Oliver Goldsmith
Popular glory is a perfect coquette her lovers must toil, feel every inquietude, indulge every caprice, and perhaps at last be jilted into the bargain. True glory, on the other hand, resembles a woman of sense her admirers must play no tricks. They feel no great anxiety, for they are sure in the end of being rewarded in proportion to their merit.
Oliver Goldsmith
Age, that lessens the enjoyment of life, increases our desire of living
Oliver Goldsmith
Ceremonies are different in every country, but true politeness is everywhere the same.
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
Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law.
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
If one wishes to become rich they must appear rich.
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
Ridicule has always been the enemy of enthusiasm, and the only worthy opponent to ridicule is success.
Oliver Goldsmith
